After waiting 5 years for my tires to wear out, I've got 4 new 245-75s and 4 new black NATOs in the garage. My wife sez (she's pretty astute) "We should smear some bacon grease or something on those wheels so they don't rust away - Ask your internet-garage buddies what they do."
This truck still gets driven more than 10,000 miles per year, with some regionally moderate off-roading. I intend to keep it as long as possible, and just trying to retard paint chipping to prevent rust.
I am clueless about painting steel beyond keeping it warm and letting it cure. This question applies to racks and bumpers, too.
Would a rattle can of clearcoat be worthwhile?
What brand?
How many coats?
Would a bodyshop have a better solution?
Thanks
