What would you do?

Need some advice here.
I am almost at the point of putting on my new drivers side fender on the 68. It's a new tri plus with the zinc coating. I have read and been told that you would not want to leave that coating on it by itself since it is not very rust resistant. Here is the dilemma. I don't have the $$$$ to get the truck painted. My media blasted put dp90 on the stuff for me after he blasts it. Could I get away with getting a coat of dp90 put on it? It will be at least 18 months before my truck sees paint if not longer.
