21 Power Wagon Front Control Arms Rusting

[Power Wagon Chief]

21 Power Wagon Front Control Arms rusting (PA truck, only 5k miles). Any suggestions on wether I should powder coat or just use a high quality rust paint. If painting, what is a good rust paint to use?

I bought a new set of Control Arms for swap out and right out of box rust forming on welded areas. THANKS!

4 years old in PA? There's going to be some rust, superficial anyway.

Get it undercoated. Fluid Film, WoolWax, Krown, Berkebile PFC or the like.

Thanks for feedback. As for undercoating, I had it done within a week of buying back in 2021. I take it back yearly for inspection and touch up. I guess, I shouldn't be surprised with being in the rust belt but I was totally discourage when the new replacement arms came with rust on them and the dealer parts guy said he seen worse.
