Steve:
I am assuming here that you either will be welding with MIG or TIG so if your
frame is painted and by that I mean primer then paint, yes you will have to
bring the area to be welded to bare metal. If your frame is primed only and it
is a "weldable " primer, meaning a primer you can weld through, then it does
not have to be removed.
For good penetration it is always preferable to bring the surfaces to be
welded totally bare.
