They have some rust protection metal paint for $7.99 for a litre in white green silver black they say its made in germany and paints over old paint
I might get a few cans of black and paint under me guards and the boot floor worth a try at that price

That paint is good stuff, I used it on a subby 9 months ago and put it in the weather, there's no rust anywhere yet and it's still shiny.
It brushes on and levels out like POR15 does... 8)

I brushed it, straight from the can. yes you would need to thin it if spraying. The can says "thin if needed with white spirit (mineral turps)"
