sanding down my frame?
USMC 500:
I just finished a COMPLETE tear down on my 98 500. Does anyone have any suggestions for stripping off the factory paint from the frame and swing arm that can be done in my garage. Thinking of going from Kawi green to a 2004 silver. I'd like to paint them at home and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with a painting method other than powder coating. If I am a complete idiot please feel free to tell me so :-D......

Im currently doing a resto project also. Mine has been sandblasted and painted. I will let you know how it works out.
USMC 500:
Thanks alot buddy. I had an idea to use high temp caliper paint and MULITPLE coats of clear........

USMC,
Sandblasting the the best way to go for stripping the OEM paint. consider using a polyeurethane 2 part enamel car paint like IMRON. It is usually sprayed but I have painted frames using a foam brush with phenominal results. Cam.

I'm with you CAM! That DUPONT IMRON is some TOUGH stuff and stays looking WET!
