You are correct, without something to protect it, rust, especially flash rust on the welds will begin to show immediately. That is why, once welded, HDK gives all the bare metal components a thin coat of rust inhibitor (WD-40). I had a customer once mention his project had been sitting in his garage neglected for over a year. Everything else in the garage was coated with rust....except his HDK suspension.
A good cleaning with lacquer thinner and you are good to go.....paint or powder coat of your color choice. I would rather wipe clean rust free metal than have to remove rust.
Great question
