If you polish, it will shine!

I posted a pic of this in fresh finds last week. It had been sprayed with chrome paint over the original chrome :x . With a lot of rubbing (for some reason paint thinner wouldnt cut it :? ) here it is. I used almost a whole pack of steel wool on this baby. 8) The first pic is as found, the rest are the progression.

Nice work! That really shines now. Is there a cover over the drive side of the crank?

Yes it was chrome at one time. I will see if I can get you a pic of it up close. I am still not sure what kind of bike it is.

That would be great! I'm not sure what kind it is either but I am sure someone on here will know.

No way! That can't be the same bike. I gotta give you credit dude. That's amazingly cool looking. I want one of those now.

Wow! You did a great job bringing that one back. I'm not sure I would have the patience or even that I would have seen the diamond in the rough.

All I need now is some decals, Thought about doing some off the home printer, I have seen a post on here before about them. Does anyone know of a company that sells reproduction decals for bikes?

Yeh wear gloves while polishing that much, as the wool is rubbing away paint, it is also rubbing away skin tooo . I dont complain much but my hands hurt!!!!! Wish mine had the springer like that one!
