Sand blasted parts can easily get flash rust, but I've not seen it that fast - were you touching them with your bare hands, or was it very damp perhaps??

Some people are more salty than others. One of the guys I worked with at the gun store would leave rusted fingerprints in blued firearms with oil coating overnight if it wasn't wiped down after he handled it with bare hands.

No, I wear gloves. It's all over the part... I guess I treat it with ospho. And then wash it with mineral spirits and sand it a bit with scotch bright... Well kinda disappointed after I had that nice finish of the blaster
but I guess you can't have it all. Chicks are relaxing next to their new home. Finally done soon. Daily omelettes here I come!

Hello again,
So Ospho is not a good idea an big surfaces with a lot of texture :/ sanding this is not a nice feeling as it's still aggressive and the only gloves which are chemical resistant have bad grip feeling for the sanding cloth... So I do not recommend doing it this way. Sandblasting and then directly coating is definitely the way to go as everybody said already
Another big let down is the metal paint Brantho Korrux. It immediately scratches and at the slightest bumping against it cracks or gets a nick... I decided to Sandblast the parts I painted with it again. Knuckle head etc. I wanted it to be durable. That's why I went with Zinc dust Epoxy Primer. I feel like that's a good decision after seeing the first results.
I decided to go Polyurethane on these Parts as top coat. The big parts of the frame are Powdered and I will get them tomorrow! Looking so forward to that.
And the tub of teseven from France looks absolutely amazing. He sent me images of the manufacturing process. I asked if I can share them here. Waiting on his reply. I think these will be by far the best aftermarket steel tubs out there. The level of detail...
I'll keep some more pics coming
Cheers
