I finished cleaning the frame yesterday. Used a razor knife to chip off stubborn bits of paint around lugs, sanded everything with 400 grit, wiped down with acetone then sprayed everything with Rustoleum self etching primer. If the weather cooperates I will spray some Rustoleum Cherry red then give it at least a week before clear coating everything to avoid the paint aligatoring. I ordered a decal set from Velocals. Will get here by end of Feb. By then I should have everything ready for them. I had to shorten the chrome spats at the rear due to flaking chrome. they will look better painted .
