one more mario vaz question:
just acquired a nice old romet track frame for just 75 quid, and this is now supposed to get a proper spraypaintjob.
the thing is, the frame currently has a layer of old black powdercoating on, and that seems rather 'soft' to me as its not chipped but full of scratches. how would mario vaz get rid of that? does he have a pyrolysis oven like armortex? ...as I doubt you get that stuff off with sandblasting?
By the way, when he does use sandblasting, is he actually going through all the hand-sanding of the whole frame afterwards? (as I imagine the blasting leaves the tube surfaces very rough).
