P.S. - You need to remove all the Bondo before you try to powder coat the frame.
+1 The excess brazing material needs to be filed off in order to inspect the repair to see if it is sound. IOW, no cracks.

This is really pretty easy, but if you don't feel confident with a file, entice a craftsman/friend with pizza and beer. Do not use power tools. IMO dumb idea to powder coat without spending 5 minutes filing.
