refinishing a ripper frame

<< < (2/2)

cbrboy-2008:
the welds on that frame look awesome buddy!

Moza:
Yeah I wont be sanding the welds :daumenhoch:

SteveG:
If you don't want it super shiny then get some very fine scotchbrite and put oil on it. I've found that if you don't press hard you get a pretty uniform finish without fine scratches and a slightly matt finish once the oil has been cleaned off. It gets very messy but lesve it a bit closer to ball burnishing.

Having said that I've polished my one anyway as I am a bit of a tart.  ;)
