Prevent Rust On Bare Metal In A Hurry

[Nismo_420sx]

I just recently tubbed my front end and just finished welding it up. I am leaving the state in 2 days and won't be back to do a proper paint job for at least 3-4 months.

What is the best way to protect the metal from rust before I can get a proper paint job?

Or just leave it and do some corrosion control when you get back, it will just be surface rust anyways.

WD-40 that shit lol

you need to spray it and seal it with epoxy primer. if you don't, it will still form rust underneath with regular primer.

^Self Etching primer will work just fine. Once you get back, sand the self etch and spray it with some quality Epoxy primer/sealer, and you'll be good to go.

Spray wd-40 all over that shit and you'll be fine. Then when you get back just hit everything with some steel wool.
