N.Wood Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I did it ages ago on my old maggie, looks good but oxidizes and goes to shit pretty soon without laquer or constant re-polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir koxxy Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 well.... as every one is asking about how its been. well get rid of the normal colour for example the original colour of my pistons were floresent yellow. i used my wire wheel but only lightly to get rid of the original colour. then put it on a buffing wheel and buffed them up till i were happy. it did come up awsome when i put chrome polish on it. i do belive ive started a new trend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
