Guy,
When I restored the frame of my TR3A, I weighed all the options published on
the List, from drilling holes and inserting various paints, but finally
settled that I would get guaranteed coverage by pouring in a 30 weight oil
and flipflopping the frame in various positions to coat the inside. It's
not sexy, but then I won't be driving it in salt up here in the Northeast.

suspension, running gear, and the body guy has just asked for the doors,
floors and rear sections. And he's ready to paint the engine bay!
Mega-Whoo-Hoo!)
