Making odd Dia Compe brakes into a set - Oven Pride Stylee.......

(1/1)

bobafett:
Had some non matching Dia Compe brake components and decided to give them an Oven Pride make-over  :)

Started as - Gold used DC1020, faded used bare DC890 and a pare of pretty decent DC pre-bent levers in blue :



Gave them all (apart from the bare 890) a good rub over with oven pride an let it soak in........ kept working them with the rubber gloves (pardon !) :



Finally gave them all a very quick polish with autosol and voila :



I reckon a bit more polishing is needed and the 1020 might need another quick dose of oven pride as there are a few bits remaining but not bad for 20mins work  :)

Didn't go for the "in-the-bag" method - went for the "apply-with-gloves" method...... so i could keep an eye on what was going on !
Didn't take long at all - just kept rubbing all-over every 30 seconds or so, soon comes off  :daumenhoch:
