From their web site; POR-15 is a rust-preventive paint designed for application directly on
rusted or seasoned metal surfaces.

If you decide to prime and paint, I have had great success with the Red Oxide primer. Put on a couple coats of this stuff and unless it is knocked off by rocks, it stays on and does not rust thru for years. Overcoat with the color of your choice. I like to add hardener to the top coat. It makes it more durable. Look for it wherever you shop for implement enamal in quarts and gallons. The hardener is in a pint-size can.
This project may be a good excuse to buy a paint sprayer. Get an HVLP, and it will pay for itself in reduced wasted paint over its lifetime.

Wire brush the badly rusted places. Then go to the Eastwood Automotive website and get their rust converter. Follow that with one of their chassis paints. If that is too pricey, another option would be the rust converter and then John Deere Blitz Black. Use it with hardner and you will have a long lasting black paint.
