Sesman:
You could also consider using Atom-Mac and or Dynax S50? You would for course need to inject the Atom -Mac.

Oops,,sorry. Bilt Hamber  products.

When you drain the zinc paint out of the frame tubes how are you going to prevent the silver paint showing on the fresh powder coat? It's likely to be dripping out for quite a while. I would have thought that just using Waxoyl or Lanoguard inside the frame tubes would be more than enough protection.

My plan on the next frames (the Police bikes) is to do the internal coating before the frames are blasted. I’ll address any weld defects first, then internally paint, weld any access holes, dress back, then blast, zinc prime and paint. I’m sure there’s a hole in my thinking somewhere lol..

I did consider that approach James but felt there was a chance that the heat of the ovens used to cure the powder coat would affect the internal coating as well, especially Waxoyl.

JamesH:
Fair point Ken. I have my frames painted so the curing temperatures involved are considerably less I guess. Like you say, removing any excess that runs out over the PC finish carefully with a light solvent should do the trick.

JamesH:
Ken - saw your post on US forum re. 500/550 ignition switch bracket. Pretty sure I have one for you - drop me a Pm. James
