My steelwork was bare on arrival in the kit (which had stood for 16 years before I started). I prepped with 230 grit wet and dry, cleaned with acetone and then primed within the hour. From memory I think the primer was lechler branded - It has virtually welded itself on, very chip resistant

Cheers,

Pittartist,

Just taking it to the end. After priming with the black primer, you applied the Sika cleaner, primer and then adhesive. Did you put a top coat on the frame that was not covered by the Sika?

Pittsartist,

Disregard my previous post. I was reading from my phone. Once I got to a computer and reread all of the posts I realized you have answered my questions already. Sorry.
