Another thing I'm wondering WRT coatings, don't know if you might know... This frame is chromed under the original paint. This chrome coating seems to have done it's job preventing rust, but it is also probably the reason the frame is in such bad need of a paint job. The original paint just doesn't stick well to the chrome. Do you know if there's a good way to prep the surface for better adherence of either powder coat or wet paint? Is either powder or paint preferable considering the nature of the substrate?
Just needs the right prep.
