Undercarriage Protection

Getting my "new" Bronco in a couple weeks and I want to make sure the undercarriage is protected. No real rust to speak of right now and it will be in Atlanta, which means it should be OK. There is no coating on it right now so I'm wondering what my best option is besides taking it apart and putting POR-15 on the parts. Would ideally be an aerosolized coating of some sort.

Or should i just pressure wash the undercarriage every couple months?

If you are keeping it original, spray with red oxide primer, then spray a coat of flat clear to seal it. If not original, spray it with tintable raptor liner. It is basically epoxy and you can tint it to your body color. Por 15 is nasty.

Por and the like are only going to stick as well as whatever it is put on. So if your original paint below it comes off the por will also

I sprayed the under side (frame and floor) of both my Broncos with Duplicolor truck bedliner. Looks good (IMO) and it's bedliner so should be pretty durable.

Thanks, guys. I like the idea of the bedliner, but only if I'm doing a frame off (not tech savvy enough to do this) so I ensure I get the entire undercarriage. Ideally, there would be a product that goes on relatively clear and offers some protection. Doesn't need to be as durable as the bedliner product, but i feel like not applying anything would be a mistake.

I've been searching around seems like rust-oleum and rust bullet might have some products like this.
