Re: Paint for the silver sub-frame rust repair?
I had a similar thing on the rear subframe of my curvy.
I took it off, had it sand blasted and powder coated, not expensive to really just a bit time consuming stripping the back end down and then sending off for coating and then putting it all back together again.

Powder coating is the way forward.
I think is about £40 ish to have done

If you're keeping it then powder coat it, if you're tidying up to sell then silver Smoothrite is a very good match and lasts well if you apply it properly
