David Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 What did you polish the frame with? Also wont the metal oxidise or something if it isnt laquered or anything. Would laquering get rid of the shine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt the actual colour of the metal. Symply just re-laquer the frame if needed done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symply just re-laquer the frame if needed done :) ← no no, the shiney finish u see is the metal, simply polished up a lot!!!! and yes, if its unprotected i would imagine it will discolour in time.... the t-rex frames are supplied from the factory in a fully shiney finish, which is not laquered, the front end is then painted and the whole frame laquered!" so the silver rear is laquered.... the only problem is, when people do a home laquer job, it tends to dull and not look so great! better leaving it raw and buffing it up once a month to be honest....

Twilite Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Curse Onza for trying to release a frame that isn't long low and silver! >_< Looks real good; real professional, but you've made it look exactly the same as a lot of other frames! Ah well, it works. When you say polishing, do you mean it the same way that you'd polish something made of brass; in that if you run your finger over it, it'll smudge? Or is this a more permanent 'polishing'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoojames Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I prefer the Danny Butler colour! Too many people are stripping them silver to look like ZOO's and be part of "The crew" I like the original colour scheme but would spray mine white, but thats me. Oh well James >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
