The Mini is back from the blasters and painted inside and out in a rust preventing primer.

I need to let in new metal in several places and need something to cover the exposed metal as I finish each section.

Any recommendations for a paint that will protect? Single pack and in a spray can would be ideal.

2nd thumbs up for the 1k epoxy.
Sticks like s**t compared to other primers.
The make I use is Mipa off ebay. 👍

Thanks for the advise, 1k epoxy it is.

I've used Mipa in the past and was told they are quite good.
