I like AK North Africa Dust. It applies well and does not disappear. Plus, it is not yellow. Sand gets everywhere. Some chipping may occur, from the abrasiveness of the sand. No rust should be present. Modern vehicles are regularly serviced.

I'll second that. The AK North African Dust is fantastic. It is an enamel and has a bit of a sheen, so you will need to flat coat afterwards.
