stop rust paints
I have some rust starting on the frame of my 94 ranger and went to the hardware store and picked up a can of rust-oleum Rusty Metal Primer. Can i just get all the loose rust off then paint this stuff on? I would be doing 2 coats on it. should i paint over it with somthing after its done and dry.
thanks.

Paint the frame first with cold galvanizing paint and then top coat that. It will prevent
rust for a long time. If you live in the snowy areas or near the beach painting the floor
pans, gas tank, oil pan and frame with the cold galvanizing will prevent rust for a long
time I left mine just silver cause I like the way it looks. I also put Zinc anodes on the
frame and the body to keep them from rusting any worse. My truck has spent it's whole life on the beachside and even being driven in brackish water regular, It is far
from rust free but it would be worse if I didn't do all that when I bought it!!

Could i just use the rust-oleum then just paint over it ? would it still be as good.
i wanna do this cheap. the truck has 134000 miles and im 18Y/O plus i already have the paint.
I just wanna try to save the frame for a couple years or slow the rusting.
thanks
I wanna do this tomorrow b/c ill be able to have a 2nd car to drive when it's drying.
