Ummm, I live in salt-free FL, so I didn't give it much thought.
Mine has Rustoleum on it.

Definitely.

Sure was fun to have rest in place for mocking some engine peripherals
up, but I'll pull it off and paint it ASAP.

Any suggestions on best paint to use for such an exposed piece?

I'll be priming with an etching primer.

Given all the work I put into it, I"m tempted to paint it then top
coat it with Urethane bed liner!

Neil.
