i'm just saying I once stripped a bike raw and kept it raw with the continued re-application of petroleum distillates to keep it rust free. It was for my girl at the time. When we parted ways she never kept up with the petroleum distillates and the frame literally rusted head to toe. Quite a sight really. Clearly impossible to reverse. I got back together with her and painted the bike black with primer. It was extremely durable. Not your usual shit rattle can job.
I decided that rust is the best primer and primer is the best paint. when doing a rattle can job.
