use water and fairy liquid

carefully run the paper up and down in the direction you want the brushed finish

do a test first on a bit, under the BB or something

is it bare metal now..? or lacquered ?

I think it's bare albeit I have not really looked to much it yet. To be fair the frame looks in very nice condition with decent drop outs and no damage on it anywhere  I can see.

Should look really sweet with the blue Anno blue stuff  is all mint to go on there.

BADDH:
That's a good link Bucky, it does look much cleaner than I remember them being  I think they were ball burnished and maybe lacquered ???

Made a couple of changes to the spec line up and had a look at the decals, they are a big dark so there going to be exchanged before its built.

They were ball burnished originaly , they guy who did them back in the day can still do them , but you have to ship them to the USA for that as no one we know of has a tank big enough to do a frame in the UK

griff:
this guy is based in the uk

not that experienced, but pretty cheap  :daumenhoch:
