just wondering whats the best way to get some surface rust off the frame, its been building up for a few months now. also, what paint should i use to prevent it?

 

This is pretty highly debated througout the forum.

What I do is sand/scrape it down and then coat in Rustoleum primer followed by a couple of coats of topcoat. This has worked well for me.

My general opinon of POR-15 (based only on reading these forums) is that it is expensive and my not last any longer than the method I use. That said, however, I still want to order their combo pack and try it out for myself.

I think the biggest key is to keep at it. After hunting season finally ends (currently in hog trapping followed by turkey season) I plan on washing everything down and repainting all the small rust places that have developed.
