Very good question! I always use a buzz bomb type rustoleum type primer
with same brand top coat. I also have used a wrinkle type paint on the
cast or FE parts. I agree with KT on the powder coating covering up a
stress crack (as I recently had on an old harley trans case). But
bottom line I've been soaking before racing with salt away or x .i got
it from a fellow racer at the salt. and then during the year at the
runway giving her a coat. Then washing her off with it at the end of
speedweek. After I get home I follow tom evans advice and put her (miss
Lucille) under a lawn sprinkler for a day.IS THERE A BETTER WAY? Because
when working on her this weekend -I'm still getting small salt piles
falling from somewhere? Is there something I could add to or alter in my
preventative way of addressing the corrosive environment we race in to
protect our equipment?

Subject: Better than Rustoleum
John,
What do you, or any other guys with lottsa salt experience, reccommend
that's better than Rustoleum? I was working on my trailer yesterday and
am removing bunches of Bonneville rust on a one year-old trailer. I was
going to use Rustoleum, but if there's something better I'll use that.
Marine paint for steel hulls, maybe?
