i've used linseed oil on a raw frame and also on an old rusty frame just to help preserve it.
back in the days of black and white, people would use this on their tools to stop them getting rusty.
only down side is it takes a while to dry and is still a little tacky once set.
but it does go on quick and easily and sets evenly. should you scratch it just dab some more on. nice and simple.
failing that you can either lacquer it with spray lacquer, powder coat it clear or wax it.
linseed oil is like £2.99 a bottle and probably the quickest, cheapest and easiest to apply option which will 100% work.
