I stripped my frame with Aircraft Stripper, washed it down at the carwash, prepped the steel frame with these metal prep wipes from Duplicolor, and then shot my base and clearcoats using Duplicolors High Heat Engine Enamel in Chevrolet Orange and clear. Follow the instructions on the stripper can and the enamels to the letter! In doing so you should end up with a very mice DIY-painted frame!
