Hey guys I recently cleaned up some bad spots on the frame where the paint that the previous owner didn't take to real well after he painted it. I hhave the spots down to bare metal and I am wondering if i should use a ruberized under coat or if I should use rustoleum.... Or is there anything I can brush on so i don't have overspray problems?

Dante,
I would prime it and then spray it with rustoleum. After all of that cures I would shoot it with an aerosol undercoat material.

POR-15 is good but will peel if used on bare metal. Use "Metal-Ready" before applying the POR-15.

I would not use the rubberize. If it dries out and cracks, it leave pockets for rust to form.

I just ordered some por-15 and metal ready but did not opt for the marine clean... I do have a little bit of oily residue on the bottom from a power steering line leak... What would you use to clean it off?

I know that's true!
I would use a good degreaser (I have Meguiar's Super Degreaser), or just some Dawn dish liquid to clean up the grease and oil.

Looks great Jason. How many hours did you have in the prep work? Man you really had that thing down to the clean stuff. Nice job!
