Mechanically Stripped Frame - How to Paint

I mechanically stripped my frame via sanding, wire wheels, and a needle scaler (for the tight spots.) It's pretty damn clean, but not perfect. There are plenty of rust pits I'm unable to get to, and tight spots I can't quite reach. That means there's still a little rust in spots.

I'm not sure where to go from here...

POR-15 : Maybe to clean for that. I read it needs rust to stick to.

EW Rust Converter : Same here, I think it needs rust

EW Rust Encapsulator : May be good option. Don't know how it preforms on bare metal. Prime and paint over? What type of primer?

Chassis Saver : Similar to POR-15 I think.

Self-Etching Primer?

Some kind of etching product, followed by epoxy paint?

Maybe even a white vinegar wipe down?

What are your thoughts and opinions on any of these options, or if you have any other suggestions/products that you've had success with.
Thanks for your input.

Re: Mechanically Stripped Frame - How to Paint

Damn that looks clean. You could take some ospho and a red scotchbrite pad and scrub out the rust with it. There are a few epoxy primers (2k) that can be used over metal prep products. POR15 will work over clean bare metal if you use their metal ready (its an acid etch like ospho).

Re: Mechanically Stripped Frame - How to Paint

My vote is MP174 and MP175 that is the omni numbers to the black epoxy primer and the hardner to use with it. Now you may have heard of the similar product DPLF90, that is Omni's bigger brother company PPG it is lots more expensive. I think if you spray it with the Omni black epoxy spray 2 to 3 coats on it just as you would a bare hood for instance then leave it overnight to let it dry and then start to decide what to do next. I feel that once the epoxy is on and dry you may just leave it at that depending on the look your going for. Jim
