Need advice for storage

So my car is down to bare metal all the way around and I just lost my garage space. The car is not going to have to be stored outside till I can rent another garage space. What can I do to prevent rust from forming on the bare metal?

Went to my local paint jobber today. They recommended rattle can black enamel. I painted the car today... looks horrible but it will likely save my work till I can get a garage.
