Media blast the frame, then shoot 2 coats of a quality Epoxy Primer. Let it cure for a minimum of 24 hours, longer in cooler temperatures.
From there you can sand it smooth with 180 grit and see how things look. If decent, you can shoot another coat of epoxy primer and begin your finish sanding.
Epoxy primer needs to be coated with color and 2 to 3 coats of clear for UV protection.
This what I would do!
DO NOT PUT ETCH anything on anything other than Bare metal and also stay away from Rattle can ANYTHING!
Also some of those welds in your pics look like Dog poop I would grind them down and lay some nice welds over the top of them then dress them then out then Paint with Epoxy IF you go this rout Media blast first as you do not want any sort of paint dirt grease or anything else in your welds.
Ha! Factory welds from 1974!
