Rust encapsulation advice/products?
I just got my new polyurethane body mounting kit and hardware and am going to use the method of lifting one side at a time with a floor jack+supports to replace my body mounts. While I am in there I want to paint/coat my frame rails and the body frame rails. I intend to do a light sanding to get off the loosest of surface rust, and then was wondering what product might be good to paint over the rest of it?

I've used Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and RustBullet. Either works well and requires minimal preparation. The Eastwood product left some brush marks while RustBullet flows better. RB needs 2 coats though. RB also needs some scuffing before applying a topcoat unless you like the silver color. Eastwood leaves a primer-like surface that can be topcoated.
