Hank, thanks for the thoughts. What brand of rust converter primer have you been using? I painted the frame with Rustoleum Stops Rust protective enamel in semi-gloss black. On sandblasted parts, I used the Rustoleum clean metal primer, also in the Stops Rust line, which comes out white. For parts I prepped at home, I typically use the Rustoleum rusty metal primer, which comes out brownish-red (like on my pedals) and bonds to oxidized metal.

I like the rustoleum products, because I can buy the same color in spray cans or in regular cans for application with a sprayer. My long term thought was that this will allow me to touch up frame scratches and the like with just a rattle can, plus it simplifies logistics when I am painting smaller parts.
