41-616 restoration
#5

Hello all i have been working to remove some rust from my philco 41-616 chassis using naval jelly.


My first question is what do i need to clean the chassus with now to neutralize the jelly and prevent any residue eating the paint im about to apply?

Also my plan is to use either rustoleums rusty metal or clean metal primer as theres only some deep pitting left. Then use their aluminum color enamel pai t as a top coat.  

Question 2 for this level of rust is the rusty metal or clean metal primer better/whats the difference?

And question 3 is it really neccesary to prime it? In my little experience the primer almost makes it easier to scrape the paint off. Any thoughts? Or is it ok to just maybe dab some primer on the pitting and apply the paint directly to the metal? Will it stick well enough or will it peel, crack, scrape or flake off more?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
