wayn3 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I was just wondering if you could polish the grey Zone, to look like the silver. Because i have just brought a motorbike and am a bit short of money, and prefer the silver one, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee_ Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It would be cheaper to buy the polished version, unless you already have the products to remove the grey paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright Pads Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Not so sure on the paint, looks more anodized from the pics but they say paint. You'd need to do lots of work on there mind.You'd spend £30 out on the tools etc to remove the paint no matter what. I say hang on and get the £30 and get the polished frame.even better there are a few Zoo Pythons cropping up now 2ndf hand mint con for the saem if not less price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for 1st messageWhat about that message? What's a pro pro por?£30 for an hours worth of box shaped polishing or sheet? Tubes polished twice? Hot bath? Built in an hour??? What the f**k are you trying to say man. Get it together.Wouldn't, 'The cost of materials and tooling to achieve a polished finish would basically equate to the differance between the polished, and painted frame.' suffice?

wilky_mod_legend2 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 hi,I think you can do it, but i do not know why you would want to, might as well save a little bit more and get polished. Also i wouldnt like to start strippin paint off a brand new frame, which i have to pay for.So i would say save up for polished, but answer to your question, yes it can be done.thanx wilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuff_runt Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 get down your local halfords.pick up some paint stripper, £5 for a tin that will do 3 frames (i have with mine) nitromors or something.then, go to the cycle department and buy chrome polish (will be hanging along with the muc-off etc). this works on aluminium. £4. jobs a good un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
