I have been thinking about what should I do with the frame. At first I was thinking I should powder coat the frame. Paul suggested I should Rattle can it. I did my research and found this paint PJ1 Frame Paint (http://www.pj1.com/) that I am told that it is tough as nails. I also found out my neighbor has a huge bead blasting room at his office. He offered to bead blasted the frame for me for free. I could not pass up the offer.
Thanks neighbor.
