You can go as high as 400 grit if available. I would use some sort of rust-inhibitive/zinc-oxide primer. Then it's light coats. Better to do more thin coats than 1 heavy coat we will call a drip.
That's what i did on my frame 3 years ago : sanded with 180 and 360grit paper Wash primer / paint/ clearcoat.

And the job still look good!

And gess what? the only reason to get the frame appart was to paint it :twisted: :twisted:
