More Info:
This bike was messengered on in NYC for many years. I was hit by a car on it a year ago and the frame was professionally reset.
I'd like to strip it clean and paint it or seal it so I don't have to worry about pitting (the rust isn't too bad yet). But in an NYC apartment I'm not sure the best place to do this.

Lots of newspaper + ventilation + frame saver is what I'd shoot for. And maybe stripping down with airplace stripper and steel wool and then painting with many thin layers
