painting the frame.
i want to paint my frame, i actually started it in sections, but its a pain to scrape off that frame coating, then sanding it to get everything off, i know theres rust remover sprays that you can get, but what about the frame coating? whats a quick way to get it off, some kind of solvent or anything?
also since its getitng warm again, its time to clean my engine, theres some baked on crap on my manifold and whtanot, is there a powerful cleaning spray i can get that will clean some of that up nicely, or is that on there to stay?
thanks!

Wire wheel on an angle grinder/drill to get the frame clean is gonna be the fastest. I haven't had good luck with herculiner. I read the can afterwards and it says it won't stick to unpainted surface. This next time i am gonna use 2 part expoxy primer.
For the engine use simple green. I use that to prep the frame before paint to.

its too rusty and with a BL you see too much of it haha. i have to spend as little money as possible right now, but i can't stop working on my truck, i'd go mad.
i used a air gun with a sanding disk on it to sand down the section i did, went pretty good, but so i didn't clog up the disk i used a cabinet scraper to get as much of the coating off as possible, i'll have to look into that aircraft paint remover, but is it safe to rinse down the road or use it outdoors?
