Well the good news Pete is that we've discussed just about all the options . . . you can pick your poison!

Good luck - and smart of you to not try to paint when it is too cold - that is BAD news!

I've used an SEM product called Rust Shield by brush on frame and other parts.
The thing I like is that no primer is needed and it sticks to bare steel, has a hardner and flows out nicely. The only problem no sunlight because may fade, so it seems great for under body parts and such.

yup, too cold now, but i like to paint outside when i can. if you get started early in the morning its usually calm winds, and the dew keeps the dust from flying around. i have a pallet on wheels, paint it and then shove it back in the garage

I used Rustoleum Satin Black on my '41 Ford. Painted frame, front susp. and rear end in about 1996. Sold the car in 2017. Looked as good as new. Rustoleum is tough, cheap to touch up if necessary. We put almost 200K miles on it.
