What to do with frame
Integra99:
As you can see Powder is far thicker than the painted finish.. hence why I wanted the CB painted!

The real cost and effort comes in the prep, surely.
Blasting is quick and will reveal corrosion damage, pitting, previous repairs etc .
Neither wet painting/stoving nor powder will disguise any underlying issues the framework has.
Some people may want to grind out the pigeon poo welds too, others like it as it left the factory.
When I had my frame powder coated I was offered a tough paint finish for not much more money.
I think that was air-curing polyurethane? , that went hard after a week or two.
If I had spent some hours with emery cloth, wet/dry etc I would have achieved a better result in a few places where the aged metal shows.
I am told there is a metal filler that will work with powder and the oven temperature used.
