I'm restoring an SSP. The top frame is in really good shape. There is some surface rust hear and there, but nothing under the black. All welds and joints are very clean and sturdy.
At anyrate, what is a good paint for a one or two coat simple and foolproof application that might stop or slow this rust, without needing wire wheeling? Ease of application and rust stop & prevent effectiveness are primary concerns.
Secondary is color and finish match the original (non-oxidized) frame.
Here are pics from a future restore. The one I'm on now is not as bad as these.
At any rate, what would be a good paint for the pictured rust spots? Maybe also to squirt inside the tubes.
Something to stop that, and presuming nothing under the black coating. (What is the coating?)
Thanks in advance.
