Yes, as I said, either grind off all the flux residue, or sand blast it, two ways to arrive at the same end result. The flux residue is smooth and slippery, just like glass, you'll never get anything to stick directly to it. Back then there was no epoxy primer, just lacquer or enamel based primer, I assume it will bond if you get the flux residue off of the brazing. I'm however not a body or paint guy, I just worked for a body guy as the grunt that did all the work he didn't want to....LOL. Someone else will probably have a more definitive answer for you.
