I believe Waxoyl is designed to "flow" into crevices, even long after it is
applied. Given that, I don't think paint would be able to adhere.
You might want to look at POR-15 rust inhibitor products and wheel-well

I have not used it personlly, but the "por-15 guy" came to my local MG club
meeting and presented a good case.
