NC30 Fork Lowers

Post by Polisher »

Bit of a dilema guys,

Just nitromored the black paint off the lowers and found that they were pitted underneath.

Plenty of wet n dry later and a couple of hours on the polishing wheel and they have come up mirror polished ( like chrome)

Question is will it look too bling and ruin it or do I repaint in silver as I originally planned?

Your'e about as decisive as me, lol!!!! :whistle:

When you machine polish them they'll never tarnish, just use a bit of car polish on them from time to time
