Thumbs up Help with rust

I'm having a problem with dampness in my garage which is causing my spark plugs to rust & a few painted bolts on my intake to get rusty heads. Any way to prevent this? For instance, I was thinking about using a clear coat paint over the bolts & spark plugs. Or stealing my wife's clear finger nail polish and painting them with it. What's your thoughts????? I know, I should fix the dampness problem in my garage, but I don't have the money to do that..... Thanks for any suggestions.

Lay down heavy mil plastic under the car. Dehumidifier when temps allow(auto defrosting type). Put a ceiling fan in set on low to keep air moving. Keep doors closed especially with large temp swings. Park the car in one of those bags. Put a heat/ac duct in garage from house if attached. WD40 everything....I could go on there's many ways to reduce RH.

Thanks for suggestions but car is in a 20' x 22' carport type garage (Metal building), concrete floor & a large tarp for a door. Carport is detached from house, no electricity, no doors, no windows. I can't afford to build on to it or put electricity in it. I could put plastic down under car, that's about it.

Well, I'll post my solution so that if anyone else has a problem with rusty spark plugs. I bought some Plasti Coat Clear Coat for engines, it's good up to 500 degree's. I taped up the threaded & electrode part of the plug & just shot the the black section & part of the porcelain up to the top. Three coats should do the trick.
