hyper frame...removing paint with nitro

<< < (8/9) > >>

mr.magoo:
thats the picture that gave me the final push to make the decision to strip mine, looks like yuor chromes much better than mine.....
nice build :daumenhoch:

mr.magoo:


heres mine latest photo, after changing the wheels....................................

BUT I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM, AND NEED ADVISE :'(

after i stripped it i went to a wet race meeting, and all the "chrome" tarnished and pitted badly. I had to strip her down and spent 8 hours with autosol to get her 90% nice again, and took the above photo................but it was spitting when i took the photo, three hours later go to the garage and those few minutes on the drive and she's all tarnished again :'( :'( :'(

I'm told its cos its nickel coat and not chrome, can't afford a re-chrome, don't particularly want to powder her, but will at last resort,  but wondered if there is any product i can put on her to stop this happening again.

I do have one other thought, i may part company with frame and forks, cos although i think she's a lovely ride, at 5'10" she is a little long for me.

So any good, cheap, advise out there???

thecrooch:
Well thats the first time ive heard some one say an old school frame is a little too long.....

have you thought about lacquer? or how ever you spell it...

mr.magoo:
yeah, sonic told me to clear all marks and laquer, but some one else told me it wont stick cos too shinney???

probably wouldn't be so long if i changed that redline stem, but can't be arsed, easier to change frame and forks....lol

but would rather keep as is, but cant keep wearing out my w@..king arm polishing off the marks :LolLolLolLol:

pickle:
kind of got mine sorted now
