This discussion leads me to question whether or not the wonderful job I did with the framesaver on a bare metal frame was compromised when I had it powder coated? If the frame savers are mostly wax and if the frame was baked @ 450 degrees, how much protection do I have? I live on salt water and ride year round in Seattle-my curiosity is piqued. Next time I think I'll powder coat and then use framesaver?
