What to put on after shotblasting?

[rumpelstiltskin]

Just going to send some parts of an old motorcycle to get shotblasted,the blaster usually coats the stuff in red oxide afterwards.What's the best way to paint this when i get it back?Take the oxide off and start from scratch?,or is there a good spray putty product i can put over his red oxide to smooth down to give me a surface to paint?I'll probably be using 2k paints,cheers.
