So the frame is back from my buddy from being sand plasted.

So here's the question: Do I need to sand this down before having another buddy powder coat it? If seems a little rough like worn concrete, almost. I know i need to clean up some welds and other rough spots but does the whole thing need to be glass? Any advice would be appreciated.

Out of my wheel house on sand blasting and prep for powder coat. That frame has a real long and sleek look to it. Did it seem long in the front end before you disassembled it?

I'd talk to the powder coater...

Carl.

I think powder goes on right after sand blasting but like Carl said. Best to check with the guy doing it.

The painter isn't an expert he works at a place a friend of mine works at. He normally paints smooth sheet metal. He can do it as a "government" job at work for FREE so asking a lot of questions or complicating things is unwise. I need to drop the frame ready to spray.

Might try posting it in the How to section or Bike Talk section. There are some guys on here that know a thing or 2 about powder coating.

So I rebuilt the rear wheel and shined it up well. I then drilled the rivets out of the exersise dsc wheel. The more I think about it the more I wonder why I'm using a nice wheel for this project, most will be hidden behind the disc anyways. So here are my options....

I think I like the option on the left better the rim is "beveled" so the disc sits better. Plus it's a cheap wheel with way fewer spokes I would otherwise never use. Now I'm considering painting the rims to match the disc. Thoughts?

I like the chrome rims, they frame the color better and make it stand out.

Keep the chrome it looks good like that with the disc. Nice accent!

I took a rollbar for a buggy and some engine parts straight from the sandblaster after blowing them off to the powder coater and they came out fine. Have not heard anything else about special prep for that.

I agree with OddJob and ChicagoMuscle. Chrome with the colored discs will look great
