Default "Under-body" paint/coating?

I picked up a 2002 FXD last fall that looks just MINT from normal viewing angles but while mounting a sidecar I noticed that there are a LOT of paint chips and other finish damage underneath. I live on a gravel road so it isn't going to get any better!

Is there any kind of undercoating for motorcycles that can be brushed on?

I'd like to clean up the damaged finish and do something to protect it before it starts to rust.

How about Herculiner truck bed liner brush or roller application. Tough stuff. Any auto part store.
