    Frame paint, need quicie answer

    I used to know the answer (but then I used to know a lot of things) but what is a good touch up paint for the frame of an 1983 R100RS. I got the trannie out out and just want to touch it up. Prefer brush on vs spray.

    rustoleum

    glossy. But I just brush it on and mainly to cover bare or rusting parts.

    Some day I would like to a real restoration but for now am just trying to
    prevent more rust. The bike is just rough enough that you really don't notice the
    brushed on paint. Maybe would be good to get an air brush to touch up/

    That's all I'm doing, covering up the rust spots. Just did want it to be too obvious.
