Don’t want to refinish whole bike but would like to strip down to steel, clean and spray paint myself. Any suggestions on best way and best materials to do this.
You could use a different colour like you see on some bikes on the lower dropout area
I'd just fill any chips, sand them smooth & scuff the surface area with 400 wet n dry..blast away with a spray can
