Some progress over the weekend. After wearing out 4 Flap wheels on the grinder and assorted grits of sandpaper, the frame was pressure washed one last time.

After a lot of research we decided to prime and paint the frame with a new product from Eastwood Company. My air compressor is too small to keep up with Chad's paint gun, so we ordered Eastwood 2K AeroSpray Epoxy Primer. It is a true 2 part solvent/catalyst spray paint in a rattle can.

After wiping down the frame with grease/wax remover I suited up in Chad's Paint Respirator, Safety Glasses, and Neoprene Gloves. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Then I applied a base coat of the Epoxy Primer. After 48 hours cure time, I added a second coat of the Primer. The spray pattern was great and easy to apply without runs. Turned out really nice.
