Flash Rust On Bare Metal Shell?

[corgs]

I have nearly finished blasting my shell back to bare metal and could do with some advice on dealing with flash rust.

Some slight flash rust has started to appear where I have blasted and I'd like to know from someone who knows better, will etch primer be okay to go over the top of it or should I prep the surface with something like rust blast.

If I do put something on it like a phos acid it'll need neutralising by rinsing off with water, something that doesn't really appeal to me. As I wouldn't want any water getting trapped any where causing it to rust out of sight (in seams etc).

Also if I were to use the phos what should I put down over the top of it, will it react with an acid etch?

This is to be a high end resto so finished paint has to be of top quality

 

help/advice much appreciated..thanks

It would be best to keep your shell in dry conditions and get your paint on there as quickly as possible to minimize the amount of Flash Rust.
