Frame preparation / stripping what's best?

<< < (2/2)

Charlie J:
+1 on the diy method.
Paint stripper and wire brush followed by rattle can red oxide primer, PJ 1 satin black paint and a couple of coats of satin clear coat. I wasn’t aiming for a factory type finish and like the satin look. Obviously it won’t be as hard wearing as powder coating but not too worried as bike won’t see much rain/salt etc.

Laverda Dave:
I took the Z400j frame, swing arm, upper and lower yokes, headlight bowl, battery box, main and side stands plus 32 various brackets to Microblast in Windsor for shot blasting and powder coat. Some parts were gloss black and some satin black. I put old bolts into threads to protect them and bungs into the steering head and swing arm pivot with through rods and nuts. Cost was £280 for everything, job done. They have coated three frames for me in the he past and never had any runs etc, class act.
