Re: how clean is clean enough for frame?

Of course sandblasting is by far the best option but power spraying, scraping and brushing off any grime and scaly rust might be a good option. That's what I'm thinking of doing with my frame. I figure after over 40 years with no paint, it may last another 40 with a good cleaning and a coat of rustoleum or similar.

Forgot to mention, mine just has old grease and road grime and surface rust.
