I am curious: Why are you bead blasting and not using something like
aluminum oxide grit to blast. Beads work great on non-ferrous metals, but
really don't do much to rust on a chassis.
Rustoleum is an oldie but goodie, too. When I use it, I start with the
rusty metal primer, then top coat. It holds up pretty well...
Best,
Ray
