I'm with Scott on this.  Lighter colors show problems much easier and soone=
r.  Rust-Oleum is preferred too.  Easy to get anywhere and in a rainbow of =
colors in non-rattle or rattle can.  I use it on frames, suspension, bracke=
ts and anything else besides the body too.  Easy for touch-ups. =20
Black is factory for engines, but from what I've seen red is second most co=
mmon.  My engine is silver, just because it's flashier than gray. =20
