Why do you suppose that Liebermann would take your comments and distort thgem to mean that one should use marine bottom paint to protect dry steel bike frames?

Please show me where I suggested the use of marine paints for painting
bicycle frames.  Hint:  I made no such suggestion.  Here is an exact
quote for what I'm trying to do.

Change-o-topic:
Has anyone actually tried using an rust prevention concoction such as
lanolin (sheep oil) based Fluid Film for preventing rust and
corrosion?

If so, which version and did it work?

Andrew suggesting trying linseed oil and John B suggested marine
paints.  If you look back at the comments prior to yours, none of them
had anything to do with bicycles.  See:

The problem with marine paints is that they do not have a good  inish that you want on a bike. If you want a good bicycle finish you can use two part epoxy paint but you must immediately then clean out the sprayer with acytone. Another method is to take your frame to a powder coating company and have the old frame and fork sand blasted clean and you then spray and cook on a powder coating. The are also available in high luster finishes. Though those are quite a bit more expensive. Semi-shiny white finishes are commony used on shop shelves and is quite inexpensive and is difficult to rust through.

Oh! I thought you7 wee painting showers (to take a bath)

Yes.  I wanted to find a general purpose rust prevention spray that
would work with almost anything.  Something like WD-40 except
optimized for rust protection and probably conversion to iron
phosphate.  For my shower, the plan was to use Fluid Film (lanolin) as
temporary protection until I do something more permanent with the
shower.

If bicycles I've always "dust" blasted (that's what they called it
anyway) and powder coated. I knew a guy that had a company that powder
coated as a finish coat in support to his main work and a case of beer
to the powder coaters, and bob's your uncle ....

I've powder coated a tool box, small engines, chainsaws, automobile
panels, etc using powder and tools provided by Eastwood:

A friend built an outdoor spray booth and oven, which are only usable
during summer or when the wind isn't blowing.
