Over the weekend, I did manage to lay some more paint on the frame. Using Farm implement with Rust encapsulator from Rustolem. Not real thrilled with the very narrow spray pattern but for rattle can and the first coat, it’ll do.

This truck gonna get driven and used as a truck so it doesn’t have to be show quality underneath.

I can paint with a spray gun just fine but give me a rattle can and I guarantee I'll screw up.

I lightly sanded the rough stuff off but it’s magnifying any imperfections. And these nozzles are junk. I’ve got two cans that barely had any color come out and when it did, it globbed. But this will do for now. Thinking of taking this and having it rhinolined or linexed

I’ll say this, if you don’t have a Hobby Air II system, highly recommend getting one.

You can buy a kit and do it yourself easy enough. Don't remember the brand name but comes with 4 1 quart bottles and hardener.
Also has the gun to apply it with. Did the underside and inside floors on my Scamp with it.
 
Spray can. I used John Deere gloss black. I know, it's not supposed to be black under the hood. I had to paint it some color.

And I now realize why they make a special wrench for tightening down the distributor ... Great freaking googley-moogley I lost some knuckles on that effort....

KD, K Tool, and Gear Wrench all have this dist. wrench. I bet Harbor Freight has them too. 1/2" and 9/16. Hook them together with the coupler and the other end is a handle. I have sold 100's of them. You can probably find one in the tool section at your local parts store. No need to hack up other tools.
