I would be very careful is using a wire brush, it is easy to scratch up the good paint next to the scratch. Instead I would suggest a knife edge to scratch off the rust, much easier to control at the edges of the scratch. I would also hesitate to spray the frame completely with a clear coat. Lots of prep work on large areas not needing any protection... Clear nail polish or cleat model car/plane paint only on the damaged spots should work well and take a ton less time. Andy
