I know its not a Buell, but im repainting this hoopty for the dealer i work for. Lookin for some ideas on a simple paint job that pretty much nebody would like

When I painted my brothers bike, I stripped all the old paint off, the rinsed the paint stripper residue off with water. After this I quit for the day and the next day all the metal had random shapes of brown (surface rust) all over it. I sooooo badly wanted to just clear coat directly over this as it looks awesome but I feared the rust would continue to spread. I know I'm not posting any cool pics here, but thought this would be a good thread to ask my question....would the rust continue to spread under the clear coat?

^ok thanks for the response. I guess it's good that I didn't do that then lol.

I'll post pics of the paint job I did on his bike just because:

This was done in my garage with rattle can paint. Flat black primer, gloss black base, and clear. All duplicolor paint IIRC from autozone. Cost me roughly $200 for all the paint, stripper, sand paper, visqueen(to block off in my garage), tape, etc... Been 2+ years and still looks great.
