Removing Paint from Chrome

<< < (4/5) > >>

ORB:
Dunno what all this laquer bollocks is, some bikes had a thin coloured clear coat like the Super tuff Burner, HL turbine and such like.


Strip the paint off with the inspector, give it a once over with chrome poland and the jobs a minter.

Dont worry about rust, as unless the chrome is damaged it wont rot.

Just every now and again give it a clean, and thats that.

I was thinking that ? , I never had any bikes bitd that had the chrome lacquered ? (surely after a while of cleaning/polishing it will wear away ? ) .

As Oli said regularly clean it , only damaged chrome will go rusty quick ie. some forks I stripped matte black paint off were chrome below but were "keyed" to accept the paint , these may need a re-chrome or lacquer to stay reasonable .
