(medium grit). Then washed it with degreaser and used a rag with alcohol to make sure it was dry and didn't have any oil left on the frame. Then got 5 or so cans of the Suzuki blue and went to town. I let it dry for 2 days. Well actually a week. The following weekend I then sprayed it with a clear coat. Looks great. Of course, after riding it over and over I did wear out the normal places when my feet are in contact with but everything else is still good. -Mark

If it's just a strip it and repaint it I might could give you the hook up. Let me know! Dano P.S. I would strip it, seal it, base coat it then clear coat it. Using All Dupont materials. Title: Re: painting a frame? Post by: 310R_Dude on November 21, 2005, 04:51:11 PM A little something like this:

Personally for me... I have a strip tank and I get the paint for free. It gets baked at 200 degrees and I was gonna do it for free. All he has to do is get it to me. I was even gonna meet him 1/2 way. I don't think you can beat that deal with a stick. And saying that PC'ing will last 100 X longer is just simply not true. Title: Re: painting a frame?
