It depends on the state of the frame, what finish you are looking for and what sort of paint you are going to use. Most power coaters use grit to blast because it is quick and leaves a rough finish for the paint to stick to. Grit is very aggressive and if the frame is old and rusty, it can end up looking like a tea bag
Thanks Trigger. The frame is in good condition, bit of light rust here and there, scratches and flakes. I am going to paint not powder coat. Haven't decided on the paint yet, recommendations welcome.
