help! restoring alloy components

(1/2) > >>

electobooty:
Anyone got any tips as I have a stem in need of resto but would like some pointers on where to start.

Can't see me getting the result steve got with his tuf neck though :-\ :-\

Steve P:
What stem are you trying to restore and is it painted or anodised :)

Steve

electobooty:
Plain alloy but quite battered and old


I know its a lot of elbow but what is best to rub down with then polish :angel:

Steve P:
Wet 'n' dry in soapy water normally does the trick . . . finish off with 1000 or 2000 grade before polishing  :)

Got any pics ?

Steve

electobooty:

Tryed to get before pics up but photobucket is having maintenance, will try later and get before and afters up.
