I stripped my frame nearly 2 years ago. Scrubbed it up with steel wool, or use a scotchbrite, to a nice shiny fine brushed look. Clean it with meths. I got it gloss clear powdered at armourtex. It still looks amazing today. Some bits of rust vein developed in the first month here and there under the clear but since then has remained constant. The coating is hard as nails I've battered the bike a few times and it's not even scratched. Bike has been used well too. Really durable finish.
Just adding this info for the record. :-)
Google "raw steel project" to see the frame, it's on bikeradar.
