Thanks all for the comments. There seems to be much debate on this color or that color, so all I do is try to get them close. I do list this particular code on post #6. Whether or not it's correct will be for others to judge once it's painted.
I spent another two hours with the wire brush wheel, grinder, and sander and got most of the bumps out. I did not use putty on it, since it takes away too much of what it is. I did grind down a few welds, and splatters.
Here's the paint I used. For priming these bikes when there is no rust left, these rattle cans do a fine job. If using a catalyzed sealer, you get a better job with more protection, as well as a better color choice. This is important if you're sticking to a particular formula and are matching panels in a body shop. Not so much for mini bikes.
Light etching coat, dries real fast, then two medium coats of sealer/primer.
