prepped frame for painting

Well, it's back on once again, finally had some time today, and the weather was somewhat warm enough to venture into the unheated garage and do a bit of work. Today I took a sponge sanding block and went over the entire frame to smooth it out a touch, I then hit the entire frame with the wire wheel, and then used the POR products to clean the entire frame and prep it for painting. Even though it was cold out I think it worked very well, probably not as well as if it was nice and warm, but it was above freezing today, nothing froze, and once the chemicals did their thing, I rinsed the frame down and brought it into the house. Have to let it dry or as POR say the patr must be bone dry.....LOL

So it's in the basement, and drying out....and getting warm, I will wait a day or two, and put it on the painters tarp I have, and paint indoors, it's too cold still outside and it won't get warm anytime soon....

I just hope the POR paint won't stink up the house too much....I will paint let dry a bit and take it out to the garage to cure until I am ready to start adding parts back to it, I am sure curing in the cold garage will be OK....

Well a few pics of a clean frame
