<x-flowed>Epoxy primer. Stuff is excellent (and smells good too). It's a two part epoxy primer that you can get in either red or grey. Learned of it first from my friend's boat trailer his dad built & sprayed 20 years ago. The trailer still has no rust on it, only primer. The paint is expensive though, about $100 a quart which was more than enough to spray my sandrail frame & the floorpan of a bug.
