Headtube Facing Question
 
I'm getting ready to start building on a new frame. I was going to bring the frame into my LBS and have them face and ream the headtube. Question: What do you do with the bare metal, in this case steel, after the facing is done? Is rust going to be a problem? Or just don't worry about it.

Thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Nothing.

A proper headset install would've greased all the relevant parts of the cup contact with the frame.
