Hi jobr
Had my Guzzi frame hot zinc sprayed and then 2pack painted which means if the paint gets chipped the zinc stops it going rusty and travelling further under the paint and you only have too touch up the chips with spare matching colour.
may not matter on a Duc that only sees dry weather.
As for frame stripping its not rocket science just use a digital camera on every piece with the help of a good manual and this board.
I never done it till the Guzzi 3 years ago totally rebuilt it with the help of Haynes.
