To the top for you...and me since i live in NY. If heard of POR15, but I dont know if there is a better product out there or not, it fades quickly in the sun, and about two years ago it was 30 dollars a quart!!! Hopefully someone else chimes in cause i plan on doing this as well.

POR goes a long long way, so the $30 is not totally ridiculous. They also have products that don't fade....I used the original on a tube frame and it gave me an almost powdercoat-like finish. Good stuff, worth the $$

I was thinking por 15 but my frame isnt really that rusty its just in spots where the underbody coating is comming off...i just want to make it look black again.....i was thinking a spray on but i dont want over spray on everything....i was looking for something that you can brush on.....i dont want a bed liner coating cause those do not finish smooth.. i think im going to give the POR 15 a try...

Mine is completely undercoated as it. My frame that is. It is more or less rust less and my grandpa had this is Iowa beforehand. You sure you guys don't have coating on there now as it looked like it was a GM job on just the frame and not the whole underbody.
