I have a 1940 schwinn that came to me with really bad paint, after stripping, there is a couple of places that are pitted, can you powder coat or chrome over pitting
Haven't done it myself, but SOP is to use a first coat of powder coat as filler, and then another coat for the finish color. I am hemming and hawing about this for a cushion tire project so did some reading.
Powder coaters sandblast and use a special filler and Chrome shops prep the parts before chroming to make them smooth.
If you are doing it yourself start sanding or grinding til its smooth .
If it's really deep then you will need filler .
Even if you are taking this to a shop the more prep you do the less time they will have to spend on it saving you cash .
This summer I bought a rough rattle can 51 strightbar Schwinn. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I did remove some paint from the fork and downtube and seen it was very pitted. So I thought I would get it blasted and coated which I have never done before. The frame also had a couple of dings. So for 140 out the door they blasted it filled and powder coated it and I super happy with it! Now I just need to finish it
JB Weld is the best thing since canned beer. Plastic body fillers are soft and often lift out of small pits. I've been using J B Weld for years. It's great for filling pits and small dents on frames. It sets super hard and strong, yet sands easily to a smooth and even finish.
