I have been married 54 years and still using the same ironing board I got in my bridal shower. lol. Yes, it did get very rusty, but, I took it out on the patio and got some spray paint and repainted it. No, I do not remember the brand of paint, sorry. Works for me anyway. I did buy me a new one at Walmart, and yes, it is too narrow so don't even use it.
Me and friend made us a wide board out of plywood and covered it and I just lay it on top of my ironing board when I need a much wider one. Even made my own ironing board covers.
