Can a Bike Frame Stay Primer

This may seem like a silly question but I've searched the forums and nobody else has been dumb enough to ask, so I will :-p

I just found an old FUJI Sport 10 Speed a neighbor was throwing out so I snagged it and took it apart. I have no immediate plans for it but I don't want the surface rust it already has to get worse sitting in my shed. I'm thinking of cleaning it up, taking it down to bare metal and just priming it for now. Many of the articles I've read said letting the primer go 24 hours + is a good thing, but I've also seen posts about having to go from primer to paint within a certain time frame.

I'm planning to use Duplicolor enamel (since I know all paints are different).

Thanks for any insight in advance.
