Restoring a Mongoose gold stem

(1/6) > >>

Hey chaps,

Just looking for a bit of input - I have a gold stem, and it's in overall good nick. Just a few blemishes here and there. How would I go about cleaning it up without losing the gold effect? I'm assuming it's anno  :-\

Other than that - the bolts are about knackered. Anyone know if replacement bolts/ stem bolt are available? Don't want to chrome them as it'll look naff..

Cheers in advance  :daumenhoch:

meticulous:
its not ano', you can only anodise ally, its a gold paint/laquar finish, exact replacement bolts are easily available from your local nut and bolt shop... ;)

like sam says its not anno and the bolts are available but make sure you get imperial bolt/nuts  :daumenhoch:
