Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Best rust covering paint ?

While I've got my engine out I want to clean up some of the rusty brackets and crosshead ends etc.

I'm doing to give them a good wire brushing and was then going to use Hammerite paint.

But there might be something better at covering old metal because no matter how hard one works there will still be some contamination and some paints simply don't adhere well.

Any experience based thoughts please on how to finish "old metal" would be appreciated.

Thanks
