Under Coating Quesetion

What is the best undercoating to use after removing surface rust on the frame? I need a paint/rubberized coating and not rhino-liner/line-x.

Undercoating is NO GOOD unless it is put on from the factory. Otherwise too many contaminants and rust are under it and it will fail, causing MORE RUST

Do yourself a favor and look into POR 15, Chassis Saver, and Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator

Ive use that before with great results. I painted a toyota frame that had minor rust and then topcoated it with satin black-1 spot or rust came back. POR15 or Chassis saver is better of course and may hold up better overtime-but its also 10x as costly as 1 can of rustoleum rust reformer and 1 can of black.
