is this nothing more than just surface rust?

comments from the above...

It’s been in Montana it’s entire life so it’s had it’s fair share of road salt. Right now it’s sitting at 211000 miles. I have heard negative things about painting the frame and trapping moisture. Is fluid film something u could apply yourself or do you need to take it to a shop?

i was unaware that Montana uses fair amount of road salt??

i did not notice much anyhow when i was wheelin' through there about a year ago after a big winter event had passed
looked like mostly sand on the roads i wheeled upon and little slushy slop that i normally see in the great plains midWest region

I spray my used motor oil on the frame. Beats taking it to the recycler, and I've already paid for it. Nothing like double duty for $$$ spent.
 
Don't tell the greenies that. Used motor oil has some real bad stuff in it...one way or another it gets in our environment which is a lot worse than these rust inhibitors.
