you want it finnish?

seriously though, strip it bare, seriously degrease it's ass, then laquer it. see if the laquer stays on ok!!!

raw/clearcoat finish is pretty ugly though
go for a wacky colour scheme!!!

You could also try scotchbrite. I found that you can get a nice satin finish on alloy if you put oil on it, might work the same on steel as well.

vic murphy had a wicked paint job on one bike

i think it went white to flames to black
do it like that!!!

get yourself an airbrush off the bay. they are pretty cheap, and you can run 2k paint through them no problem

when it's all done, bung a ton of laquer over it :)
