I used Silica sand. I sandblasted my friends 400ex fram with it and threw on some prier and he had i PCed red. It turned out great. Sandblasting is a messy job and time consuming.

sorry, i meant primer. Expect to spend a couple hours sandblasting the frame. Its hard to get every single little spot but you got to take breaks and look at it and find out where u need to spray next.
