Dave,
You should check out the cost to get it sand blasted. I had stripped
most of the undercoating off and took it in and it was only $40. It
doesn't take long if it is fairly clean. The sandblasting revealed some
rust on the top of the front outriggers that I didn't even know about.
Once it's clean, putting on a two component epoxy primer should solve
your problem. I wouldn't try the epoxy in the basement as the fumes may
do you in.

Subject: Restoration - NOP Frame prep
I am ready to prep my New Old Part Frame...
Surface rust - sandblasting is probably the best but... $$$. I have the
time (the frame is in my basement next to the woodstove), could I just
"wire" brush/wheel it to get MOST of the rust off? Note - someone said a
wire brush/wire will remove most but will leave some that will now be
"hardened". Do I have to remove ALL rust or will a good rust
converter/inhibitor take care of the rest?
Paint - good rust converter/inhibitor? Where can I purchase this stuff?
How
many coats? Note - I will be undercoating.
Thanks, Dave
