I have some chrome forks that had VERY bad surface rust on the chrome. I used Naval Jelly, #3 Steel Wool and elbow grease and it looks very respectable. I thought it would need sandblasting and paint. What can I do to keep the rust from coming back? Chrome Polish? Clear Coat...

OK so I have an original copper colored B&S 5HP for a yet-to-be-identified US made roller and I'm torn between paint combos. I'm leaning towards matching the engine color to the frame and trying out a new high temp color... but the original paint/decals on the Briggs is in very good condition...
