I've blasted my frame to bare metal. I sprayed it down with phosphouric prep & etch, then rinsed it with water. The whole frame immediately is covered with flash rust. Am I doing something wrong? It does come off easily with a scotchbrite, but I wasn't expecting the rust.

Thats the way it happens. Give the parts a rub with acetone right before priming and painting..nothing to worry about with the flash over.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
Thanks. After all that work with the blasting, I didn't want to have to do it over again.

It happens in less than 10 minutes and its nothing in the end. Its not "eating at the frame" or gonna cause it to "rust out from under the paint". Wipe it down right as your getting ready to prime with acetone. Acetone rapidly evaporates and doesnt leave a residue behind.
Wipe it right now with your finger and it will be gone!!!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

A little flash rust is nothing to worry about, although I agree that it's a little disconcerting. When doing my frame I dried it as quickly as possible using towels, a leaf blower,
and a propane torch.
