I just redid a bike. It's alot of work. If I was to do it again I think I would kick in the money and get a powder coat. I basicly just sanded the rusted areas down to bare metal and roughed up the original paint. Then primed with a black rustinhibitor, white primer, color and clear coat. Certainly it wasn't the best job as I started to run out of time. It looks OK but there are some runs and some scratches from reassembly.
