Kal-Gard Gun-Coat is a much better choice if it can be found. It was designed 
for underwater demo equipment and will take a 5% salt solution forever. Also 
does not act as a heat barrier as BBQ paint will (keeps heat in the BBQ ehh?) 
Difficult to find but worth the effort. Used it to caot all of the air cooled 
race bikes and it would last a long time.
