My 03 F150 has developed mild, but unattractive surface oxidation on the frame. I recently replaced the tires and it looks really nice, but that rusty looking frame behind the tires made the truck look old. Yesterday, I decided to apply grease on the frame and now it looks really nice with a dark gray appearance. Anyone else ever do this?

The grease will attract dirt, road grime etc. It will not inhibit the rust currently invading your frame. Bead blast and paint if you're inclined. I would personally let it eat, as is. More than likely it will not be an issue, especially being from Texas.

The cerakote suggestion is funny because a few years ago I saw a Suzuki samurai jeep that was painted inside and out with OD green truck bedliner. Tough as nails and used exclusively for hunting. Looked cool.
