The previous owner of the Battle Wagon installed Votex mudguards but underneath those the paint on the rockers is flaked off enough to leave a couple inches expose metal, which unsurprisingly now has surface rust on it. Since it is almost completely covered by the mudguards I'm not too worried about what it looks like but I want to make sure to stop the rust in it's tracks so it doesn't get any worse.
I don't have a lot of experience in this area myself. Anybody able to recommend the best rust product for this application? POR15 seems an obvious choice but it sounds like a pain in the ass to work with and paint over (which would be required since it is UV sensitive and the sun will get at least the edges of it). Anything else?
Or am I overthinking this and am I better off to just go get a can of rust primer and some colour-matched paint?
