  1. I rode my coker through a pretty harsh New England winter this year, and
    now I have some superficial rust on the frame and spokes near the rim.
    For the frame, I was going to sand, prime, and paint it with automotive
    paint, but I don't know how to get the rust off -and keep it off- the
    spokes.

    Any thoughts on either of these?

  2. You can buy rust remover and it'll remove the rust. I've heard of paints
    that when aplied remove rust and leave an undercoat ready for painting.

  3. the most long lasting way will be to replace the spokes with UDC
    stainless steel spokes, problem solved for ever. Cleaning and laquering
    the spokes will work for a while, but their natural movement on each
    other as you ride will wear the laquer away at crossing points and rust
    will form again. The same goes for paint, although whatever KH uses
    seems to hold up well.

    For the frame, if it's chrome you will either need to remove all the
    chrome or apply a special non-ferous metal primer, automotive paint is
    designed for steel and will not adhere well to chrome.
