Is this frame ready to prime?

[Buster1]

Guys,

I spent some time today sanding my bead-blasted frame and got it looking pretty bare. There are still some dots of light oxidization and a few nooks and crannies needing attention. But I think I may be ready to prime.

For those that are experienced in painting and such...is this frame ready for primer?

Thanks.

What's that on the seat tube, just below the lower top bar? Hang it, give it a good wipe down with laquer thinner, then prime it with the same brand of primer as the paint you will be using. Gary

I would apply several coats of primer until it's pretty thick and wet sand with very fine grit paper to get a smooth base to lay the color over. Primer sands away very quickly so the thick primer will be down by at least half after you wet sand.
