Ive been doing a lot of reading. in fact my head is swimming. lol today I got some Naval Jelly and let that stuff sit for about 3 hours today, and got I think all the rust off and to clean metal in places. but, there is a lot of pitting. and I don't have a grinder *yet anyway* or air. I sanded and sanded and sanded with 60 grit before and after. I also found a wire brush and went to town! but the pits are still black. I am trying to keep it from spreading till I can get it done right*who knows when that will be*. and of course, I am doing it on the ultra cheep! earlier today I got some regular primer. after finding out that is not the kind I need. I was looking at Duplicolor Rust Repair: Rust Fix, Ive seen mixed reviews. do you think it will hold it off enough till I can get the money to do it right? or can I just spray it with regular primer and hope for the best? here is the before pic.

I'll try to get a pic of it now tomorrow... the next couple days are suppose to be rainy so I think it will have to wait till it warms up for me to be able to spray. thanks guys... I know,I know dead horse lol

Check out this stuff, maybe a good option for you. I coated my entire frame with this stuff when I stripped it down and then sprayed frame paint over it when I was done

Permatex - Extend Rust Treatment (81849)

Provides one-step rust treatment that destroys old rust, prevents new rust. Just brush or spray it on. Within minutes, rust disappears and a durable black polymer coating develops. Excellent protective primer. Leaves a tough coating you can paint over. Specially formulated to be used with body filler and fiberglass.

Suggested Applications: Pipes, valves, fittings, truck trailers, storage tanks, fences, guardrails, conveyors, supports, overhead cranes, booms, floor gratings, ductwork, agricultural equipment, snow removal equipment, outdoor sign supports, posts, hatch covers

I used that extend on my jeep frame years ago. Good stuff.

Update:

I was able to get it done this weekend. so here are the mostly finished results!

this is what it looked like 24 hours after spraying the whole area with the stuff. I put on 4 coats.

Here it is with 4 coats of primer.

Thanks for your help All!
