I just ran into the same problem. Rustoleum makes a clear coat spray. I bead blasted and cleaned and painted. Two weeks later, it is rusting under the clear coat. After a little investigating, I need to phosphate wash the parts first. This will thoroughly kill all non visible rust and provides a light phosphate coating to prevent rust. Clear coat right over the top. I was recommended the PPG DX579 metal conditioner. I think this is a typical process for body panels.
