Reply to "BEST BARE METAL COATING"

I then treated the bare metal with Eastwoods Fast Etch, a zinc phosphate coating according to directions and did nothing else until I took it to the body shop 2 years later and not a spot of surface rust was present. This stuff worked for me and I will use it whenever I can.

Basically, it's Phosphoric Acid, available under various names/brands at drastically different prices, but all the same. Wipe down any freshly blasted metal with one of these products immediately after blasting to prevent flash rust. Then you'll be ready to coat with an epoxy primer (urethane, or whatever your paint mfgr recommends).
