    painting a frame

    Anyone got advice on painting a bike frame ? Frame is steel. Do i need to sand down to bare metal, or just scuff it up and leave the original powdercoated paint job there as a good base layer ? The original paint job is in pretty good shape, i just want to change colors.
    thanks

    The best thing to do is to go to Auto Zone and buy some stuff called Aircraft stripper and the can will tell you how to do the rest... I painted a BMX bike and used this method for getting it down to bare metal and Wow what difference. This stuff is the Bomb!! Or what you think means great. Good luck!

    What kind of paint did you use? How has it held up?
