I used rubberized undercoating in a rattle can looks good till the dirt hits it. When that happens just spray some more on.

I used VHT Epoxy frame and chassis paint. Stays nice and glossy. I did all the unpainted parts the day I brought my truck home, before they had a chance to rust!

How long ago did you do this? Is it holding up well? Do you still drive the truck in the winter?

I am loving what they say on the website but am skeptical if it really works that well.

Like i stated earlier its valspar ih red implement paint. Its about 40 bucks a gallon. I used 4 coats (3 plain, final with hardener) and didnt use much more than half a gallon. Has 3 coats of valspar red oxide implement primer on nothing but a steam pressure washed frame. Primer is about 40 a gallon and the hardener was 14 bucks a quart i think

I did this last winter and had held up perfect I ran out for the front so I have to do that this winter but I have had brake fluid sit on it for hours and didnt phase it at all! I would highly reccomend it! I just stumbled across it online too

SEM Rust Shield is my product of choice. I used there Rust Mort rust converter first, then top coated with Rust Shield. There are quite a few quality options though.
