how to get rid of some rust on frame

[peterlocal22]

hey everyone I just bought a 1998 banshee. The prev. owner didnt have a skid plate on the bottem of frame and there were some scrape marks on the frame from rocks or whatever. Over the years the scrapes which went down to bare metal have turned to rust. This is killing me I like every thing perfect. I hate rust. Any advice on removeing it and fixing the problem so it doesnt come back? Any advice would be great, thanks

If it's the regular grey frame, sand it and spray some Duplicolor Metalcast Groubnd Coat on it, stuff is a very close match to the stock paint, ever so slightly mroe metallic, you would never know the difference in a spot like that though!

 

use very thin coats, it is an almost transparent paint by the 3rd or 4th coat it will start to match, 1st coat will look like clear paint with sparkles.

Well if you like things perfect then strip the thing down this winter and repaint the whole frame.. Then you do not haft to worry about any other scrapes on it..Plus its easy to do....

honestly you won't be able to see the differenc ein the color of the paint on the bottem of the frame, after a light coat of dust it won't even be visable.
