I've got a '63 Chevy C10 pickup truck that I bought earlier this year. It was restored about 20 years ago but it was an amateur job and there are obvious flaws but it looks good from 20 feet away and is a good driver and great for exploring Vermont's back roads in the summer.
I believe that it has a lacquer paint job. The truck is relatively rust free but has a couple of areas that are becoming problematic. I'm half way decent with a wrench but I'm definitely not a paint & body guy and the pics below show the worst spots. I will probably have the body work addressed and have the truck repainted in 3-4 years which brings me to my question.
The truck is garaged but the garage is not heated or climate controlled and I want to minimize the spread of rust and care for the paint as best I can. I will be prepping the truck for winter storage next month and my plan is to wash & wax and then spray some fluid film on the exposed rust areas. Is that a good strategy? I'm all ears and open to suggestions.
