hi bobbbbsy
 whenever i paint anything with rattle cans i always do the usual prep if its already painted sand it down (or use scotch brite pads ) then prime it i always use a heat gun on the frame before and during painting (i also heat the paint can )
. then when the primer is dry give it a light sanding then spray on the top coat also useing heat as you go .
do the same with  rattle can lacquer .
if the frame is bare metal then prime useing an etch primer .

bobbbbsy:
cool thanks.. i have done some car bodywork and paint so know bits n bobs ! not used etch primer before !  :daumenhoch:
