Looking for ideas or opinions...I am cleaning up a set of spindles from a 74 to convert my 66 to front disc brakes. After doing all this work I can't hardly stand the thought of them rusting again. What do most folks do with them? Paint, don't sweat it or something else?

Simple! Mask off your machined surfaces and shoot them with Rustoleum.

Spray a coat of self etching primer first, then go right over that with your color.

That will give you better adhesion.

I like Ospho, followed by Rustoleum rusty metal primer, then final color Rustoleum.
