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

strip and paint or powder coat the frame and get a full skid plate

thanks for the reply. Can i strip the paint to the metal frame on just a certain section of the frame or do i have to do the whole frame. The rust spot is about 5 inch long 1 inch wide. also will i hurt the metal of the frame if i do this?

you need to totally strip down to the frame and send it out to be sand blasted and powder coated. That is for the best results. The quick fix turn it on its end wire brush the rust and clean with alcohol, get some primer and a can of paint to best match your frame.

Are you guys fuggin high? Spray some rustoleum that remotely matches the frame color and your done!

The scratches will return. eventually get down to the metal. Spray it again.

Dude, sand paper, wire brush, whatever. Scotch brite will work great too.

Best match is silver rustoleum hammered look paint. Looks great and holds up fairly well to standard abuse.

word but i would sand the rust out then get a can of tar and greese remover to make the paint stick then spray it with rustoleum

Just sand it..180 grit sand paper..It takes some time but it will do good.If you do it yourself.Finish it with 400 grit wet. Then use cleaner before paint..I use martin senore Kleens eazy. Im getting ready to Paint mine again..Its been 3 years.
