Lee they are metal ones, after I stripped them I washed them down with water then sanded them so he could go out to the skate park, so it was a quicky really but all the paint is off though.

[lee1 1]

alloy and stainless are the 2 most common metals to polish

if there just steel you could still polish them and then have them clear powder coated
but it doesnt last long

so Im affraid they need repainting or powder coating

I'll ask him what he wants to do coz he wanted them stripped, just a question Lee if he wants them just lacquered would that work

should imagine they will just lacquer as they are,as there is a key for the lacquer to stick to,but dont polish them

I left her in the shed coz the Mrs wouldn't let me have her in the garden helping me

Jonjoe wants me to do the deck and forks now, so paint stripper out again, and coz they are alloy he he wants them polished. Here's some pics to start with




Forks need flattening some more to get the scratches out then polishing and buffing up


Deck still needs stripping and the bars have been lacquered coz they are metal

Just thought id share what I've done so far for me boy jonjoe

[BanditMike 0]

Impressive. I'll send the forks, rearsets, footpeg hangers and swing arm over straight away. Could you have them done for next week?

Good work!! Not sure I would have the patience to do that so credit to you

Obviously we need piccies of the completed scooter
