Bang for your buck for a quality coating. Can be used under the car or on the A surfaces before topcoat. Other folk use Jotamastic 87 but I find it doesn’t spray as well, good if applying by brush or roller. Buy it from SML paints online, excellent service.

apply a heavy coat underneath everywhere 😎👍
Bang for buck easy maintenance then it’s got to get by waxoil , then 1 , 2 and then it’s third coat of hammerite good luck moisture safe for 5-10 years for sure and I have tested this also have customers in seaside areas also in Scotland .
Now the thing to watch is over winter salted roads the only help you can do is keep washed even when using in winter times each week wash and clean your car on Sunday for maximum results one customer I have lives down road from a main salt store in Scotland and that’s what he’s had todo 6.5 years later still good so keep it simple and maintain it Is my best advice 😎👍
Don’t listen to companies claiming a Miracle product like rust busters a great example that all it is = epoxy primer in a tin two part yeah righty o rust busters anyone in the trade all they have todo is read ingredients will know straight away Pfttt but on the flip side it’s not badly priced if your looking for epoxy primer pre respray 👌😎👍
All the best
Kind regards

I too think Hammerite is quite a good solution for some parts of a car but there can be trouble with mixing / painting it close to conventional car paint. If you are aiming for nice body coloured wheel arches than perhaps applying hammerite to other parts of the underside should be avoided to stop unwanted paint reactions. (I think Hammerite although now made by Axo-Nobel here in Europe is still a MEK solvent based paint).
Hammerite is great for components that are unlikely to be touched or exposed to wear. I have, however, been disappointed at how easily it can be scratched.
For a single component solution Eastwood do two chassis black products that I have found to perform very well. They are not quite as tough as say German two pack paint (think Mercedes where some people who "detail" complaint about how tough the top coats are and that scratch removal requires more effort!)

Epoxy is most certainly a very good solution.
I like the Epifanes stuff which has an amount of Zinc added to it to help the anti-corrosion properties.
