I'm refurbing an 1982 BSA (made by Raleigh) and am looking to get the frame grit blasted and powdercoated in British Racing Green. I've stripped the bike down to the frame and forks but I have 2 questions if anyone can oblige -

1. What can I use to protect the BB threads and the chrome dimples on the forks?
2. And in your experience is it expected that the customer does this?

Thanks all. :D

    Steel frames get heat treated then grit blasted. Masking takes place after this by the powdercoaters. No idea what the implications are for your chrome dimples. Give someone like Armourtex a call for a definitive answer.
