The big concern with any chemical treatment on the metal is that it adds one additional step that may leave residue that may not react well with your paint of choice.....

if its surface rust, hit it with 80 grit on a DA, clean the metal off and spray epoxy....
the other car was metal brush grinded,sandblasted then primed 1h later.
Thats why im not sure what was wrong
