Or for that "lots o metal" look!

Anybody knows how to treat the metal so the rust will not touch it? I don’t mean chroming or painting, cause I want for my tanks the bear metal look… Some electroplating with somethin’… donow…

Go to 'Custom paint' and you'll see the flame job in grey/silver he did on my other-half's Sporty.

I know you can use keyfos(sp) to protect bare steel.
I used it on my old HZ ute when i was doing it up.
but can't remember how long(if at all )it would last in the weather.
It is good shit for when you've stripped a complete car down to bare steel.

Altex have a product called RIPO, rust inhibiting penetrating oil.
I've used it quite a bit industrially and it's great stuff, but you will need to seal it with a clear coat, as it stays tacky.

If you are game enough try "blueing" the metal. Try it on a piece of scrap to see if you like the look, I'm not sure how well it will last though.
