[TR] Chassis Paint

[David Friedlander]

Thanks, Terry ~

I've never heard anyone say that a thorough wire brushing may be
sufficient. I sertainly wouldn't mind skipping the $300 cost of media
blasting, if a thorough cleaning by wire, etc. would be sufficient. It's
getting at all those "nooks and crannies" of the front suspension and shock
tower areas that concerns me (even with media blasting).

"Flipping the frame over every which way" sounds interesting. That's a bit
of a task for a 200 lb frame, though.... Was that AFTER you used the POR-15?
