Thread: Urgent! Just got frame back from sand blaster

Tweet

........... 1) put oil on the bare metal so it doesn't rust {this is what the steel mills do so it won't rust in shipping & before it's used}. 2) Then right before you weld it, wipe the oil off with acidtone. 3) Do the welding on your frame. 4) Clean up the welds & prepare the frame for paint. 5) Then paint it..... Myself I wouldn't have had it sand blasted until after I'd finished welding it. Have you considered having it powder coated? This would get inside the boxed rails really well. I don't know anything about painting so listen to everyone else on that one..... Hope this helps ya, Bill

Ps, It's easier to weld it before the paint is on plus any paint that's inside the boxed frame rails is going to burn off anyways..... This is the way I'd do it but then we all know about opinons, huh???
