What finish should I put on them to prevent them from rusting? I've sprayed clear on bare metal parts before only to have them rust under the clear. 1957 Chevy 3600 Dump Truck http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/57Truck?authkey=Gv1sRgCM2V3tXv_Pc9# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/1965PontiacLemansConvertible# http://picasaweb.google.com/orchids...turesOfIt?authkey=Gv1sRgCOnm3vvVifW77QE# https://picasaweb.google.com/orchidskip/Streamline02?authkey=Gv1sRgCIqk5fmOjdKr_wE#

Anyways, I'm looking and can always revert to buying something from Eastwood. Just wanted to get as much expert advice as I can before I spend a bunch of money on products. Thanks.
