Default Electrolysis De-rusting question

I have a few parts that I'm planning to de-rust via an electrolysis process that is explained on the Forum. Seems simple enough but does anyone have any advise on what to coat the parts with once I'm done?Most of the parts were originally non-painted.

Powder coat them for superior lasting. Do it fast though because parts right out of the bath will flash rust.

If you need time, once the part is out, store them in your wife's oven on very LOW...while she's out of the house, and the heat will keep the parts dry and rust free until you can coat them or paint them.

The best thing is to galvanizing the parts and then powder coat, it will stay without rust long after we gone.
