Default How to coat the under body of my red Camaro?

I want to use something like POR-15 but I kind of want to keep the red look on the underbody. I don't want the black look.

The factory coating has some rust spots (I can probaly scrape the rust off with my fingernail) but I feel it's better to coat the underbody now rather than worry about deep rust spots later on.

What are my options. I wish there was red POR-15

POR-15 is good, tough stuff. Consider using it as a base
(maybe gray or black) and then color-coating it. Check
about surface prep & compatibility w/ your preferred
color coat paint formula.

But POR-15 is really meant for bare metal and if you
haven't damaged the factory under-paint then maybe
what you want is a good epoxy paint instead.
