Pro class bars

GREMLIN:
 :)  A while back i picked up a set of Pro class bars to go onto my Cali'.  They were a bit snotty, so they had the usual clean up.  Cleaned up quite nice, but they're not chrome, they're stainless.  So where they are tarnished it still shows up slightly.  So i am thinking about having them chromed now...  Will stainless chrome up ok?  Also there are a few small scrapes on the top bar, any ideas on the best way to get them sorted before maybe sending them to the dippers?  They're hidden once the pad is on, but for the sake of getting them done right from the start i may as well deal with them.  Thanx lads,   G.    :daumenhoch:

dont get them chromed gav stainless will polish up like chrome,i did a set for my supergoose,i removed the small dings with dent pulling tool we use at work then polished to mirror finish they came up like this

oberonspacefruit:
yup, stainless will polish, as good as chrome.

GREMLIN:
If i can polish my way through the tarnishing and small pot marks that's cool.  I did give them a good polish to get them to the stage they're at now. But it seemed after a while they weren't gonna get any better.  Maybe i'd best put a little more elbow grease into it  ;)   Phil what did you use to get yours looking like that?   :daumenhoch:   Gav.

sawzall:
hi gav i cheated and machine polished them ,you wont get them really shiney doing them by hand as stainless is a really hard metal and takes a lot of time even when using a polishing motor :(
