Default Frame work done
I got my frame fixed a few weeks ago. Now I have to decide on the powder coat vs POR15. I haven't posted any pictures before so I thought I'd try to post a link to my blog.

POR 15 really isn't too wonderful. You'll be far happier with POWDERCOAT

I used POR 15 on my frame and while it looked good, it scratched way too easy. I would powder coat if I did it again.

Did you use the prep stuff that they say to use. I used por 15 on my 57 and used the stuff on the other 2 steps. This stuff is as hard as a rock on my frame.
