I would think this question would be best asked to the Redi-Dip co.
They should understand the process best and what proceedures are recommended
for the best results.

That should depend on chemical compatibility and primer requirements.. Not
all primers will stick to just any surface andf need special preparations.
Again. You will need to get involved with both the dip aplicator and the
paint specialist you plan on using.
As far as the frame and ensuring rust protection internally the best results
will to have the entire frame hot dipped galvanized. The inside will be
protected many times better than an attempt at painting. As far as the
outside goes you can just paint it for cosmetic purposes as the galvanizing
will do the rest.
