Anyone have a polished frame? What would it take to get it back to a factory like finish? I'm looking at a bike that has the frame polished but I don't really like it. Should this hold me up from buying it? | ||

You can paint it if you'd like. If the bike is at a good price, and has low miles etc, I wouldn't let it stop me from buying. What year? What model? Miles? Price? ...? | ||

Buell sell's the paint in aresol can. Its really great paint and durable. It sprays very even so it should be real easy to bring it back. | ||

Its really great paint and durable Until you spill a little bit of gas on it. I think the aerosol is meant to be touch up paint. I wouldn't want my entire frame painted with it unless you put clear coat over it. Maybe a couple of layers of wax instead of clear coat would help maintain it? | ||

It wouldn't stop me from buying it. All the more reason to take it all the way apart and powdercoat it what ever color your heart desires! | ||

or scotchbrite it to a nice matte finish like the XBRR frames. | ||

Or take it to your local Line-X shop for that nasty, devil may care, ride it till you crash it, streetfighter look. If you follow.  | ||

If it feels good do it! As long as you aren't drilling "speed holes" in the frame! (Message edited by diablobrian on November 09, 2007) | ||

As long as you aren't drilling "speed holes" in the frame! I always love a good Simpsons reference.  | ||

Maybe a couple of layers of wax instead of clear coat would help maintain it? I painted a entire tail section with it. No problems with it at all. Its in your prep work. It spray's very uniform for what its. |
