I have read that you can apply it with spray guns made for household paint (like those electric Wagner sprayers) or undercoating guns*.

I used a wire brush to knock off the loose paint and surface rust. If you already have light rust spots on your frame or floorboards that you want to deal with, now is the time to do it. Use high pressure, try to blast out any places that sand and dirt accumulate, and let it dry at least overnight. I use a long reach, water wand type sprayer*.
