Engine Side Covers


Recommended Posts

Not for nothin', but what would you do to refinish those? What does the finished product look like? Post pics of finished pieces, please.

I was basically planning on running them through a dremel with a buffer attachment using polishing rouge. The finished result would make the aluminum appear to look like chrome. Then I would just repaint the black ridges.

 

As I start refinishing I will post pix. I'm also going to post pix of my plastic welding the cracks in the fairing as well as the broken ABS tabs.

Here is a couple of pictures of sideplates on my 83.

 

They have been cut down in length to clear the different configuration of the Vmax heads.

 

They were polished, then powder coated. Then I sanded through the powdercoat to expose aluminum & polished them back out.
