Galve spray

galvanizing paint? would prolly look horrible up close, and not sure how well paint would stick to it.

Try it and let us know,
AND DON'T FORGET THE PIX, haha
 
I have used that galv. stuff on welds on a fence and it will rust a lot faster than real galvanized steel. but it works ok and not like your quad will be out in the weather all the time
 
for great anti rust protection i recommend POR-15 paint.

expensive but i havent found another product that even comes close to it. it dries to a rock hard finish, easy to apply, and can be top coated if you wish.
