Thumbs up Painted the whole frame

May seem a bit ghetto, bit u highly suggest doing, since our lx's are so prone to rusting (unfortunately) i decided to try to take care of it. Brought the car to a car wash and had the underside washed twice, then went to an auto store to buy 2 cans of rustoleom primer spray paint. Did 3/4 coats and sprayed extra on the welds and i will say the underside of the car looks brand new, will probably have to do this once a year since the salt here in New York is a *****......Just a suggestion to those of you with older lx 470's and maybe 450's
