[TR] Bonnet Rust

I am cleaning up the bonnet off of my 57 TR3 in preparation for paint.
Patches of rust surround the two copper rivets at the rear of the
bonnet. Rust patches also surround the aluminum inserts for the Dzus
fasteners. Does anyone have advice regarding cleaning and sealing these
areas so that the rust doesn't return? I have stripped and sanded the
bonnet to bare metal and plan to kill any  remaining surface rust with
Ospho before coating with a 2k primer.

Thanks,

Mike
