Surface rust on frame removal
My 02 F-250 (week end truck) has begun to start showing a lot more surface rust on frame and axles. It's about half rust and half black frame. Are there any products that I can spray or brush on that will convert and stop this. ? Thanks for your help

Hammerite by Rustoleum, sold at Home Depot or Lowes. Can be painted right over non-flaky rust and on steel. Great for frames, and 1/4 the cost of things like POR-15. Hammerite is xyline-based, brush-on, sold in quart cans in various colors, including silver and black.

Put on the worst pair of clothes you have
Get a good grinder and slap a wire wheel on it
Get good pair of safety glasses and ear plugs
Get under the truck and go to town, be prepared to get dirty.
Paint with a good quality Semi-gloss paint.
Worked well for me

used motor oil will cover it up nicely and help prevent more of it easy to put on with a air paint gun.
Ive tried the rust converters by after a while, the stuff peels and the rust is still there.
chain and barb oil works good but its a bear to control the application.
