So Decided to paint my chrome pipe. I think it turned out pretty good but when I took off the tape a little bit of the paint came off with it. I'm going to try again with a smaller strip of tape. Oh yea, I used some sort of high temp grill paint.

Prepping the frame for sandblasting
I did some cutting and grinding on the frame, I want to cut off all the extra tabs and brackets that I won't be using. I still have some grinding left, but i was happy with the work completed.
