Chrome slight rust -> Prep for powder coating (DP Fresstyler)

(1/5) > >>

punkdSICO:
Hi all - finally got hold of one of the most sexy things ever greated (ignoring Paris Hilton), a DP Freestyler:








I now need to prep it for coating white but, what do I need to do?  I understand you can coat over good condition chrome but this does not apply for me :(  So, what do I have to do?  Get it back to 100% bare metal?  If so, are there any tutorials online or in our archives?

Sorry for asking this question - there will be lots of threads on this subject but we cant search the archives.

Huge thanks for any replies..

Paul

are you sending it to SuperBikeDan to paint?

PM him for advice if so.

I would be sending Super Bike Dan a pm asking him the question then get him to do the work because he strives to achieve perfection and always achieves it :daumenhoch:

Yeah, SuperBikeDan.  I got a quote off him the other day but, because it is his livelihood, I did not want to pester him for prep advice.  Im now guessing this is acceptable so I will ask him the question.  Obviously I will put him comments back into this thread for the benefit of others.

thanks guys,

Paul
