i doubt you mean the scratches and chips are in the steel,  do mean the paint is scratched ?

just strip all the paint off and 'viola'...   chips and scratches gone...

if your sending your frame/forks to a decent powder coater then they

wont want you to do any prep as they will want to do it  themselves so they

know how to get the best results :daumenhoch:
