Gruff Retrobike Rider Gold Trader Kona Fan Feedback View Apr 4, 2011 #22 Hey Steve are you lacquering these items after polishing?
GT-Steve Retrobike Rider Gold Trader Feedback View Apr 5, 2011 #23 nope. I left the cranks outside to the elements for the last week, one untreated and one covered in clear car wax. Zero tarnishing to either crank

Bullpup Senior Retro Guru Apr 5, 2011 #26 Fantastic results from that kit Stefan! I hesitate to call it DIY-it looks very professional to me.
stefan9113 Retro Guru Apr 5, 2011 #27 I make the red one new .... you see any difference? The cook letters are not decals I make them with an aireraser. Stefan you see everything goes, it's always a way.
