I wonder if just using a light color would be a decent compromise, since no paint could get out of control for many corrosion wise IMO, and I like the idea of having cracks be obvious.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I knew a guy that had a car with a chrome moly cage with really nice TIG welds. He had Scotchbrited the entire cage, and then sprayed it satin clear. Looked nice, and it showed off those nice TIG welds.

Rustoleum Hammer tone black with a small brush, it's actually a metallic gray color. no masking, hard as nails and easy to touch up.

Rustoleum Hammer tone black. Have actually been asked how I was able to powder coat the cage in a back half car? Easy to touch up if required.

On the race car I painted it with base coat and a clear
coat but its a complete tube chassis with out the body..
the Rampage I painted with Chassis Saver and a brush
but I'm not real happy with it... I may repaint it with
Rustoleom... the Chassis Saver tends to chip pretty easy
Chassis Saver is supposed to be applied over rusty metal or sandblasted metal. Was your chassis rusty or sandblasted? If it was smooth, it won't stick well at all.
Some of the tubes were rusty... I scotchbrited all
the tubing before applying it to give it some bite..
where I seen it coming off the easiest was on the
trans even after cleaning it good
