It would take A LOT of paint to make a steel driveshaft unbalanced. 2 to 3 light coats of paint will do just fine. That's what I did on mine. 1st coat you should use a rust protector paint on everything, then spray it with color matching

How would I go about fixing this?? They are the rocker panels right? They are rotting bad. Any input would be great.
