Hi all, having recently bought my first yam (in bits) am now attempting to restore it, my first query is how best to paint the steel tubed frame, I've heard powder coating is very good, can anyone recommend this and if so, how best should I prep the frame? removing the old paint uncovered some bad pitting and rust, would using KURUST or a similar product to treat rust be ok before powder coating.

I'm sure I'll have many more questions of a more technical nature in the future, hope that's ok.

cheers steve.

Hi Steve,

You could either rub the frame down and give it a spraypaint or if you wanna go the whole hog have the frame sand/shot blasted then powder coated yes prepping bad patches with some kind of rust treatment is the way forward
