That's exactly ride Jason. Practically speaking anything that you are going to treat the frame with is better applied AFTER the painter has their way. The contaminants from such products and associated propellants blah blah blah are a nightmare.

That said (drum roll). NFS world headquarters is working on a frame protection scheme that is low toxicity, requires only a trigger spray to apply and non-flammable. Currently testing several versions.

I personally have used FrameSaver for ages and it kinda sorta works if you keep after it but I know we can do better and mean to do just that.

I was told it was super expensive stuff but was never given a number. Our guys in the field would either weld over said paint with dual shield or 7018 stick rod, not sure how it would do with a low amperage tig setting.

Personally I think it's up to the owner to keep up with some basic rust prevention.
