I used POR15 on my frame works great and goes on easy and smooth.

Wear rubber gloves or you will were black on your skin for a while.

Sandblast it, then ZeroRust is my choice. Do a search on the net comparing por15 and ZR. Use customers 3 year or more experiences, not just what the manufacturers brag about their product being capable of doing. Consider the products salt spray tests results when picking materials to protect your frame. good luck and jmo
