Frame polishing

[jjckflsh]

Hi,

Anybody know of any postings or links to explain how to polish the frame.  Did a search but only came up with 1 posting which really had nothing on how to do it.

80 grit. 120 grit, 280 grit, 600 grit, 800 grit, 1000 grit, 1200 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit, then finally 2500 grit.......

took me several weeks but it worked out....

good luck and happy sanding, I guess if you used a power sander it might be easier.

This might be a stupid question, but will the same process work for the wheels?

 

[adrenaline junkey]

yup same process  for wheels other than some use a striping compound to remove paint first

Thank for the Info. Your bike looks so sweet. My bike is the same color scheme so now I am psych to get this going. What did you do to seal off the rest of the bike from the dust? How dusty was it? Could I do this indoors? Did you use any particular power tools? Thanks Jack

it is SUPER MESSY. tape off everything you can.

I taped off areas where there was paint to avoid accidentally hitting the paint with the sand paper but other then that I just sanded and sanded and sanded. I would recommend a small electric sander to get the initial cut. Some parts of the frame is easier to get polished then the others. If you use a power sander be careful not to sand thru, that wouldn't be good. Oh and I did it outside but did do a dirtbike frame inside in the living room,,,,,, don't tell the wifey
