ABQ Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Earlier today I almost finished tearing down the Shee and am about ready to go get the frame sandblasted. Just had some questions on what I have to do after the frame is sandblasted prep wise. Am I pretty much ready to shoot the frame with primer after the sandblasting? Do I need to take some high grit paper to the frame after? I'm planning on just using spray paint. Any answers and tips would be great.

fappy'97 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Why not get it powder coated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Cut off all unneeded BS frame tabs. Strip vin number area with paint stripper. Tell them not blast the shit out of the vin number. Have it powdercoated. Reassemble. Ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQ Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 The reason I don't want to powder coat is the price and difficulty to spot repair when chipped<br /><br />Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk<br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Fingernail polish for spot repairs. It's available in countless colors. They'll be something close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Top quality touch up with fingernail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Smooth any ugly welds before, ask if they have plugs for threaded holes, if not use sacrafitial bolts. Have all paint supplies on hand before it goes to blasting, Paint as soon as possible. Wear latex gloves EVERY time it's handled after blasting. Have all other prep done before it goes to blast. If PC is so mutha fuggin great, why do you need to touch up? Nail polish must be pretty durable shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Haha. Haters. I'm talking about when you get a little nick here or there in a fairly inconspicuous place. If you knock a gash out of it somewhere. .then yea, you gave issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I don't know what kind of horse shit powder coat you guys have experience with, but It took an acetylene torch to cook my powder coat off my subframe to get it modded. I can't picture chipping that shit. (Not any place that anyone would see.) Mine has held up to sand, gas, oil, grease, brake cleaner, multiple engine removals and installs, fame dragged over trailer side rails, hot pipes, even brake fluid.

ABQ Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well here is a pic of the frame with pretty much everything removed. As you can see it was a must fix. <br /><br />Sent from my DROID RAZR HD<br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
