I used POR products. I think it's Por-15 but remember the more prep. work you do the better the results especially over rust. Good Luck

My frame was cleaned (no idea how) and painted with eastwoods rust encapsulator. I didn't do it, but so far it looks fine. I haven't seen any rust popping up yet. Time will tell.

If rust is a big issue you should strip it down and make sure the frame is solid.

On my 59 frame rust was not a problem - I used a cup wire brush on a 4" grinder to clean and knock off the worst, then painted it with semi-gloss black enamel. I used Rustoleum brand as you can apply it over rusty iron.
