I sandblasted my frame, rubbed it with thinner to get all the grease and crap off of it. Let it dry out in the sun for a while and then primmed and painted.
My advice, send it to someone and have it powder coated. The best spray job an't gonna last long.

I had my Blaster frame painted by a body shop for me....it looked very nice...but it was not durable enough. Do it right the first time and powder coat it.

Mine was painted before i bought it on my 250R. Now thats its tore down to the bare frame, paint looks horrible! It wont hold up. Im sending mine to timmy-boy most probably to get it powdecoated and re-inforced.
Either powdercoat it, or leave it alone.
