I didn't get a chance to reply before the thread got to page 3. Anyway, that's great work on the H. I do the same thing, using flap wheels on a 41/2 grinder. I get them free so I love using them up.
But you want to get those polished parts primed as soon as you can or you will need to go back with metal prep to get minute rust off.
Use a good epoxy primer if you don't expect to topcoat right away. It is truly water and stain proof, which those 'primer surfacers' are not.
When you are ready to topcoat you can paint right over the cast pieces that are epoxy primered. but you will have to use primer/surfacer on the tin to build a perfect base before painting .
I polished my frame rails like that,off the tractor so no bolts to work around. 40 grit then 80 grit. Shot them with e-primer,light block sand, then 4 coats of surfacer. Block sanded, 4 more coats, blocked one last time. They look like a granite kitchen counter, smooooth.
