Rust Removal From Frame
« on: February 09, 2014, 11:13:20 AM »
I have a 1971 CB500 with many rust spots all along the frame.
Can anyone suggest a good method for rust removal from a frame?

Sand blast and use phosphoric acid then rinse. Paint with in 4 hours. OR just powdercoat it.

It will get sand blasted before powdercoat.
The better places give it a phosphate dip to.
Phosphoric acid turns the iron oxide(rust) into iron phosphate.
It stops the rusting process.

If you are talking about spots, you can sand them down, use a filler type primer and just paint the frame. Gloss Rustoleum looks pretty original.  Take the money you save and buy something else the bike needs.
