Carlperkins Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 get it shot blasted at a powder-coaters, comes out well nice. has a rough silver texture so scratches don't show up. nice and even and easy. another way, strip the paint off with paint stripper, sand the frame down starting at 800 grit and working your way up to 2000 grit, make sure you get in all the nooks and crannies, then get a buffing wheel in a drill (i use a bench mounted buffing wheel) put autosol on the frame and buff the hell out of it. takes a lot of effort this way but the frame will come up like chrome if done right.
