How do,

I've just stripped my Unit frame to be powder-coated but quite like the raw finish. Can I just leave it as is or do I need to protect it somehow?

I'm not sure of the tubing material y'see. Can anyone help?

Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

It will be steel/chromoly. I would laquer it. On-one do the inbred 456 in "raw" steel and i believe it is laquered. Like this:

Cool, thanks folks. Will ask Mr Powdercoater if he can do it.

Cheers

A clear matt powdercoat looks pretty good ๐Ÿ˜‰
