[coolmodee01]

hard work but it should
but your better off useing a bit of the old wet and dry to take the coating off first

good luck

If your in brisbane take it to Brisbane's Best Metal Polishing they do a fantastic job.

 

[coolmodee01]

start rough work your way down
when it's shinny buff it up
or do it the easy way
get it sand blasted then pay some poor sap to polish it

that would defeat the perpose, i was thinking of cheap mods i could do my self (plus im not in brisbane)

I'll do it


I need the money

 

[MITTZ]

anyone got any useful input?

start rubbing
it aint brass

use wet end dry and work your way threw the layers till, just a warning, it is very anoying after every ride to re polish it up and get it shining again,if you dont always polish it up it will just look like shit had it on my kx125 and it was a pain,every lil scratch also shows
