Not the NAPA here. They didn't have anything along those lines, and tried to sell me "undercoat" for the underside of cares, and also a rust-killing thing that you'd need to pour on. But they're both paint consistency, and I didn't want to have to worry about getting it on the paint jobs of the frames in question. A boat-service place had the Amsoil HDMP.

And, some shots of when my mom flew down to visit NC and we did some long bike rides together. (She borrowed one of my friends' bikes.)

I used to monkey around with classic [old] Toyota Landcruisers. . .a study in rust. The best stuff I ever used was/is POR-15. It's a line of products engineered to cover rust and defend against further rusting. If I'm doing outside steel and welding work [mailboxes, church sign posts], it's getting two coats of POR-15. They also make a line of other restoration/protection materials that might be of interest to this crowd. You may want to check this stuff out. Just make sure you don't get it on threads or springs. . .or yourself. By the way, it comes in steel containers, but can be sprayed as the original poster requested.

And it is, as was mentioned earlier, ingested for health benefits - https://www.berkeleywellness.com/html/ds/dsFlaxseed.php
