Quick rust prevention question

thanos.m · 31st May 2020, 20:58

I just got my new (used) rear upper arms today they look pretty much brand new considering they are 20 years old but I want to give the a fresh coat of paint to protect them before fitting what do you recommend using an undeaseal type of product or just normal spray paint or is there any product in particular to recommend for this ?
Thanks in advance!

I've shot blasted back to bare metal then painted with por 15.
just painting over the top may or may not give extra protection, it depends on what is already there and if there is any rust under the paint
