when i did the frame on my 49 yrs. ago i brushed rust oleum gloss black then fogged it with the same in a spray can to smooth out the brush strokes.it looked great . went through a divorce and it sat out side unprotected not even a tarp for 8 yrs. when i restarted the project last year was very pleased how it held up. paint had faded a little but no rust.i have since done more suspension work and am mounting a fuel cell under the bed when i get done i will definatley repaint with rust oleum.......dave
