If part of the frame is not coated, will moisture work its way under the coating and lift it? I know there must be a pretty simple solution as there are alot of P/C frames out there.

Sometimes, David beats Goliath. Nobody talks, however, about how many little guys Goliath already beat into the ground. . .

worry about it lifting. I'm not sure of the
chemical makeup of it, but the colored powder
is baked on the metal and fuses to it. You
will have to grind the small area that you want
to run your ground to. You won't need an area
larger than quarter, nothing to worry about.

If you don't have this, you will have never ending troubles. You could use a bolt that taps it's own threads as it is installed. This will bite into the metal and give you a ground. | | |
