I used Penetrol on mine. Works pretty well. Do a search for coating bare metal with penetrol.

I have a 6 point bar coming to my street car soon so I'm subscribing to this thread.
Got any pics of your hot rod Joel? It's not done yet, still a work in progress. I'm planning on Drag Week this year. Hopefully I don't have any more big setbacks, and will be ready. 31 Plymouth, 392 early Hemi, T56 Magunum 6 speed. Looks great Joel! 2 questions; Where are the holes for spark plugs in the valve covers? How are you going to mount the mermaid hood ornament? I hope to see you and the other competitors at DW. Don

The holes are there for the plugs, Joel has white rags stuffed in them, and they are just not showing up. "Flipper" AKA Joel's mascot will probably get to sit in the front seat, and his trunk Monkey, well in the trunk...

Some nostalgia dragster folks use Remington Oil (gun oil) on the bare chassis metal.

Do any of you have pics of a roll bar done with the ECS rpm product? I want my roll bar to be satin black, on the youtube videos it looks like the ECS RPM is a dark gray color.

My car isn't done yet. Every time I add another bar or bracket, the last one is already surface rusting. I guess that's what I get for living in NC. I'm going with the opposite thoughts: I know the cage is going to get nicked and scratched, so I'm painting it with Rustoleum purple. If I have to touch up an area or sand down to add something, it's nothing more than a trip to Walmart for some touch up.

Sounds good, I might have to try the RPM if I don't do the satin black.

After I applied RPM coating, it looked exactly the same as before I applied it.
