What's the best way to paint the steering box? I was gonna use Zero-Rust. Would that be enough? Or should I use something on top of that? Or something completely different all together?

You could use zero rust and then cover that with rustoleum or POR-15.


No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now.

I used a product called "Right Stuff" bought at local FLAPS. Worked well after cleaning. Then I painted with Rally wheel silver. Pics Below
