I thought about doing this before, but I am still trying different kinds of paint. Once I commit myself to the oil, there will be no changing my mind, since the oil will prevent most everything else from sticking.

I was going to use my paint gun, thin the oil a little bit and spray it on. I guess you could try one of those pump-up insecticide sprayers also.

Take the time to scrap paint bubbles (if your frame is coated), and get a good paint brush.

And, yes this works very well.

Personnally I did it when I had the frame exposed but I ground it down to bare metal painted with several coats of rust repellant paint and then used several coats of undercoating spray and it worked great.
