Stripping Kilo paint?

Does anyone know what the steel looks like under a Kilo? I'm assuming it will be clean steel, something like this (obv w/o lugs on a standard Kilo), but I haven't seen any frame actually stripped down.

You obviously didn't look very hard:

Take it to a shop and get it powdercoated clear! Doing this yourself is a bad idea, your raw frame will have a rust patina overnight if not coated right away!

You asked - not very specifically - what a Kilo looked like without paint. I showed you. Now you're being sarcastic? Good luck kid.

Sure, you can wax bare steel to keeping it from rusting but why would you want to spend more time waxing your bike than riding it?
