John,

Another good place to look for info is the AutoBody Store BBS - http://www.autobodystore.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?index

Basically, they'll probably advise you to use Epoxy Primer. The phosphate coating is probably good for a week or so of protection. Do they put anything else on it? My local strip place puts water soluable oil on that must be completely washed off before any painting...
