Rubbing Down Begins

A huge job on this bike is the frame which has been previously polished but not very well it has to be said. The previous attempt left the bike with a few gauges alot of random original paint and all together a bit of a rush job.

I plan to start this job again but will take alot more care im my preparation. I will start by angle grinding the air vent welds and the cast parts of the frame. I will progress onto 120 grit paper and begin to rub the rough spots of the frame by hand.

 I will remove as much of the original paint as I can and I also plan to rub down and paint parts of the frame that aren't being polished to make the whole frame look fresh and new.

The engine mounts that comedown off of the frame will be rubbed down and painted satin black.

These air vents have no function on this bike, I have decided to smooth the welds around them and spray them satin black I think this will contrast well with the polished frame.
