1. 2 pac, or
2. acrylic, or
3. por 15, or
4. professional rust proof, or
5. fish oil, or

I used Barmastic on my pan(it's a 2 pak) and filled the inside of the tunnel with industrial Lanotec.The Barmastic is flexible and is easy to touch up if it is "rocked" off....it's used on oil riggs and is suitable for saltwater immersion etc...Powdercoating may chip and is a pig to touch up and i don't think it would be good on a pan doing lotsa beach work(my opinion anyway).Lanotec will stop all rust.Period.POR 15....yeh woteva, i wouldn't bother with it as it's let me down badly in the past.I've never tried Rust Bullet myself,but it's supposed to be better than the POR stuff.

As many people don't know powdercoat is pourus and will let water straight through it and then trap partly behind the coating and corode your pipework etc .
The way around this problem is to first completly etch prime the item prior to powder coating so as to stop the penetration of the elements at the primer.
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
