Headlamp Brackets
« on: August 23, 2024, 07:22:29 PM »
I've blasted 99% of the rust from the inside of my Headlamp Brackets. What should I do with the surface now? Smooth hamerite or something else?

Depends on your budget - powder coating in chrome look colour?

That's a good idea but I'm not sure I'd be able to mask the outside up sufficiently?

Silver smoothrite works for me, especially where you cant see, same for top part of fork legs
