Hullo folks, noticed a few paint chips and cracks that have started to go a bit rusty on my frame, so need to get em sorted out. Is the most straightforward thing to rub em back, prime and then topcoat? Or is it worth using summat like a rust conversion paint then topcoat?
Thanks for any help :)

Wooohooo ta very much. Good to see I was on the right track! I'd like to strip it down and have it powdercoated but time and funds are conspiring against me :D
Thanks again, I appreciate the help :)

If your getting loss of paint in areas that get hit by grit/sand/mud etc (bottom of the frame next to the wheels. Use some polished thin metal plate to cover those areas from future problems.
