Ooooh I'm so glad to hear you dipped it. That is the only way due to the edge effect on flame spraying. Now you have a great universal coat on the frame. Yes, with the right zinc fat primer and Tnemec paint you are ready for the bush. I do hope you will paint it as scratches will quickly rust without the added protection. Well., what can I say...I don't even paint the sheet metal. Why waste all that good paint on a rock or tree?

Yes, I can surely get to the right mix. I'll try now but I'll be travelling the next 2-3 weeks out of the country so if I'll respond as soon as possible.
