Any where you will be welding about all you can paint it with is the " welding primer"... If you can get to the area afterwards you can follow up with paint..
Hard to beat the Eastwood products with the paint tube and the wide spray tips that come on the tube for getting into hidden inner frame areas.. Click on the " rust " section of the eastwood site...

I used this stuff. I want to say 2 cans. One per frame rail. Lay some cardboard under because it will drip out

Eastwood Black Internal Frame Coating Aerosol and Nozzle Kit

Internal Frame Coating destroys rust hiding inside the chassis, so it does not rust its way through. You spend time and money restoring a chassis, but what about all that rust inside the frame? Use our Internal Frame Coating to make your chassis rust free

Yea I think I’m going to skip the acid dip because I don’t want to take it all down to bare metal inside there cause I’m worried I won’t be able to coat it all. I plan on pouring some ospho inside the rail and rotating the part around so the ospho coats it all inside and then I’ll hit it with that Eastwood spray
