Then I would highly recommend the eastwood stuff. it works great! Try not to get it on your hands because it is hard to get off. And I'd brush it on. On the sand rail, we put it on the frame which had been sitting outside for nearly 20 years, and hten painted over it. I've got some pics on my laptop i can email you some if you want. you really can't tell that this thing had sat outside for 20 years.

then with everything else (axles, subframe, 4linkbars), just clean it up, then repeat with the pro rusto?

I use it unthinned but it can be thinned up to 20%

I'm glad I'm not messing with that stuff anymore.
I used some POR15 on the floor boards of the bronco among other places, and it is almost to much trouble, and not really worth the money.
IF I had to do it again, I would of put some cheap zero rust / rust stop stuff with a coat of paint over it (maybe a clear) and call it good.

Zero Rust

A little researching on those might come up to be something you're looking for.

Nick,
I am using the Eastwood rust encapulator on my ranger. 1st, I cleaned the big stuff off the frame with a wire wheel, the I just mixed it 4:1 and brushed it on the frame. It sort of looks like you are painting with chocolate milk, but it drys clear on the bare metal spots and turns black over the rust parts. I did 2 coats, hit it with a zinc rich etching primer, then painted it with a gloss black trator enamel that I got from Tractor Supply. That stuff is hard! This weekend I will probably scuff it and put a couple of coats of clear to make sure it is slick to let the mud slide off.

Automotive clearcoats are going to require the correct reducer, not moneral spirits type thinners. Most can be reduced up to 25%.
You will want to experiment with differnent paints under the clear. You may find that a chemical reaction will cause the paint to wrinkle, so make sure the paints and reducers are compatible.

On this page,I have used "stops Rust" spray paint, auto primer, clear spray, and hammered spray. All with great results except the clearcoat. It takes some SERIOUS wetsanding to make it smooth. Also, it is flaking off my hood after 4 years outside. I assume that is because of the engine heat.
