Starting to do a little work on my 70 Cutlass. Had it up on the rack today and really looked over the frame and underbody areas. The frame is real solid, but has a scale of typical surface rust all over it. Also, some seamed areas of the under body have some surface rust. I have no experience with POR15, is this the best product to use if I wire brush these areas and paint them over? I am not, and won't for a long time, doing a "frame off" even though that would be the best way to handle this. Just need to get somewhat of a handle on stopping the rust from getting much worse. Seems to me the last time I had my hand in an old car (late 80s/early 90s) there was a product that you sprayed on rust and it turned it black, meaning it was being neutralized? Is there such a thing?

Looking for recommendations-undercoating, paint, or POR15.

Also, how tough is POR15 to use? I haven't looked into it at all yet.

Thanks for any tips.
