It seems that Zero Rust is a favorite for priming but I don't know what to use as a top coat. I called Zero Rust and they said that even though they have colors, their paints were primers, not finish coats. I asked for their recommendation for top coats over their primer and they would not offer a recommendation.

Two questions:

1. If I use Zero Rust as a primer, what brand would others recommend or perhaps have used as top coats?

2. Should I just go to a complete Rustoleum system and use their automotive primer or restorer and then top coat with Rustoleum paints?

I'm only addressing the areas I can access after pulling the bed so I'm not looking for the ultimate finish on the frame, just an effective way to protect it properly. All the parts under the cab will still be rusty.
