As show season comes to an end in my area I have some ideas for the winter months and early springs. One is cleaning up the frame and axles with a coat of paint to include the under part of the cab. How should I go about prepping these parts and then how and what type of paint should I use? That way when I add my new air horn and get it plumbed it looks nice and clean along with the other stuff that I can take off and paint.

Ok so I can just paint it on. according to this I can just paint it on if I wanted to. My frame and everything is not that rusted or trashed, just looks bad.

"PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
POR-15 is a rust-preventive paint designed for application directly on
rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to a rock-hard, non-porous
fi nish that won’t chip, crack, or peel, and it prevents rust from re-occurring
by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture. POR-15 is
sensitive to UV light (sun) and must be topcoated before prolonged
exposure to sunlight.. POR-15 is cured and strengthened by exposure to
moisture and will dry faster under extreme humidity, but moderate to dry
atmospheric conditions are most desirable when applying this product.
That’s because extreme humidity may cause an immediate surface cure,
trapping carbon dioxide gas below the surface. When this happens,
bubbling may occur. Extreme humidity at the time of application may also
interfere with proper adhesion of the POR-15 coating to bare metal
because it is almost impossible to keep the metal dry under such
conditions."

Just make sure all the loose stuff is gone. POR-15 (and Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator, which I've used) will seal up anything that is solid.
