silver side case:   ok you see on my side case right below my kick starter where is is silver? all you got to do is takea very very fine grit sandpaper like 1000 grit and sand the paint off it may take a little wile but it looks so much better... then once you get it sanded down just take and wipe it down with lacker thiner and let it dry then wipe it off with a dry towel and put about 3 coats of clear coat paint on it you dont have to put the paint on it but it makes it shine better...so good luck |

heres how to polish cases: these are the materials you will need to make it work. 1. paint stripper 2. sand paper, variety of grits 3.bench grinder 4. spiral sewn buffing wheel 5. loose buffing wheel 6. tripoli compound 7. white rouge compound you can get the bench grinder, buffing wheels, and compounds at www.eastwoodcompany.comhere is the steps to prepping and polishing the peice 1. get all the paint off the peice (if theres paint on it) i like to use air craft paint stripper that either comes in an aerosol can, or a tin can that you ahve to dump on. 2. once stripped, sand down until smooth, start with a lower, courser grit(i like to start around 180,220) then just work your way up until about 800. 3. once completely smooth i use the spiral sewn buffing wheel with tripoli compound. This step is partly finishing and removes all of the scratches and gives it a good shine 4. this is the finishing step with the loose sewn buffing wheel and white rouge compound..this give it the most shine and color 5. after you get done polishing there will be a black residue from the compound in some areas, fill a sink with warm sopay water and take a wash cloth and wipe all of teh compounds off. this will not scratch the peice and it still leave a very good shine when done. for all of the small hard to reach areas i use my dremel with cloth buffing wheels that you can get from home depot or lowes, and use those with the compounds I hope i helped you out, if you have any further qestions feel free to ask me some more sorry for the long post adam |
