frame ready for the paint

<< < (4/5) > >>

stevied:
started rubbing down with 240 grit wet and dry paper, then onto 800 then 1200. after that going onto autosol polish with a cloth then using a car polishing mop with autosol again. for the hard to reach areas ive been using a dremel type tool with a little buffer on it.

if your going to try this i will warn you that it is a mamoth task to undertake on a steel frame. it has taken me over 10 hours of sanding and polishing so far and ive got about 60% of it done at the moment.

you need to buy,
lots of wet and dry
lots of autosol
and get your name on the nhs list for a new elbow joint....

if i can find some batteries i will post a more up to date pic of the frame as it is now.

stevied:
this is about 10 hours of work polishing and its nowhere near finished, but it should look the nuts once its finished
