I recently bought a Trek 8300 from a member here. I would like to expose and polish the aluminium parts of the frame (currently painted silver) to contrast against the main carbon parts of the tubing.
Question is, how is best to achieve this?
Can the carbon be taped (masked?) off and the paint shot blasted before polishing to the required finish?
Or better to wet and dry with a lot more elbow grease?
Also slightly unsure whether to rub the lacquer off the carbon and re-lacquer the lot, or not to bother?
Any hints/tips appreciated before I start on this build.
Thanks
