I use a product called "Flood Penetrol" for preservation of almost anything but the domestic tranquility. For that I have yet to find an answer.

The "Penetrol" can be mixed with black paint to the color/consistancy you want. I pour some flat black into the penetrol and mix until I get a "batch" that suits me (mix enough to do all of whatever you are coating). This will give you a mixture which will consist of more Penetrol than paint and the drying time will be several days but once dry it is preserved. Penetrol is available at paint stores or the Depot. Two kinds are "marine" and "the other". Both are the same formula but "marine" is more expensive. Praise be that they don't also market an "aviation" version. No tellin' how much that would cost. Penetrol also works well when mixed 1/2 & 1/2 with black for chassis paint. Drying time is a bother but it lasts forever.

: I am in the process of restoring a 1930 closed cab pick up. I have read that the underside of the wood used for the floor board and the floor of the pick up box should be treated with a black preservative, but have not found any information on what this is. Is there a product out there which will work for this or should I just use a black paint? Any information on this would be appreciated.
