If there is surface rust the POR - 15

Me? I'd just go with a regular auto paint. Pick-up trucks have done this for decades, and the only time they scratch off is when you drag something heavy across them. Just paint it.

They also sell it as a roll-on in a one gallon can and sell a kit that comes with a special textured roller to help give it that look.
