WOuld spray undercoating or oil based rustomleum work
better?


Either would work fine, so long as you rust-prep the brushed areas first.

Use a self-priming rust converter, or clean the areas real well and use a
fish oil (or equivalent) rusty metal primer. Rustoleum makes 'em in
their industrial enamels line.

The major drawback to the undercoating is drying time. It will dry to
the touch overnight, but not be hard enough to endure any scraping for
most of a week (unless you use a two-part... but then you're into big
bucks)
