my old rusted (complete with hole rusted all the way thru) and bent frame is gone to the scrap metal yard...
I now have in my possesion a pristine, practically rust free frame. though it isn't rusted heavily, some of the paint is gone with a slight surface coat of rust, nothing major at all.
Whats the best way to strip the paint? grinder with a flapper wheel seems straight forward, but what ya'll think? I also have a small sand blaster but blast media is $1 a pound roughly, so I'm not sure abt that.
what should i coat the frame with once it is stripped? i want it to look nice, but be tough and rust proof as possible. Por-15? I am rhinolining the interior sheetmetal, will rhinoliner work on the frame and stand up to abuse?
and one more question: how do you coat inside the frame rails? you know the "box" part of the frame? there are holes in it for bolts and whatnot, but not enough to shoot anything up in there to cover the whole inside.
many thanks in advance,
Fred
