Silicon, commonly. For bodging, IMO. Sticks to bare metal
pretty much regardless of corrosion, as long as it's dry and
not flaky. Crinkly or hammer finish disguises poor surface
preparation. Relies on being waterproof, so pinholes
eventually allow moisture to penetrate and corrosion spreads
underneath paint until eventually it falls off in sheets.
Otherwise it is hard to remove and nothing sticks on
top...not even more of the same paint...so it's a one-coat,
zero-maintenance eyesore waiting to happen, eventually.
It's about as good for painting as WD40 is for lubrication.
