When I did my frame, I had the sections that were bad blasted to remove the epoxy. In areas that it is hard to get at, I did it manually. But what I found was that a good portion of the internal cavities were perfectly fine so I left the original finish on. Then I had the frame zinc-chromated. After that I had the frame powder coated. The first coat was a zinc rich powder coat and the second coat was the color coat. The trailing arms were dipped in a hot galvanizing tank. It stripped the existing coating in the process. Since they are relatively small compared to the frame, you may have better luck getting them to do it. I then powder coated the trailing arms for a color match. That's how I did it and I'm generally happy with the results. Nick Kemp Note: Your mileage may vary. Subject to being wrong without notice:-)
