POR15 is a good all though expensive product. I used it on my frame. a less
expensive alternate is zero-rust http://zero-rust.com/ I plan on using this
under the fenders. I bought 4 qts @ $15 per or you can buy a gal for $42 and
shipping is reasonable. distributors usually get about %50 more for the
product
