You can always strip it if you don't like it. All water based paints will cause rust and chip off.

I believe you can spray with a Rust-Oleum product to stop the rust and the paint!!!
Yes! I did on an old milk can. I did scrub off some of the rust with a wire brush first. I used General Finishes paint and painted over it, then sanded back where the rust was (with 120 grit) to reveal some rust and get the look I wanted!
