Anyone removed the green from the Mad Rat motor plate at all?
How did you do it? Wet n dry paper?,file?,flap wheel(or simillar)?,shot/sand blast? Mark |

i just bought the aluminium one and it seems much thicker and stronger and has grooves in it to get rid of the heat easier. And it is silver

Oven cleaner removes anodising.

I use caustic soda to de anodize my stuff. With rubber gloves , goggles and and old toothbrush to scrub it off. Works on all colours too. Just leave it to fizz then fish it out and a quick scrub under cold running water and its all silver. Bit of polishing up after for some nice shiney bling

Do you re-coat them with anything afterwards?

I won't be doing so. I want it back to bare alloy,green doesn't really go with a blue,white and yellow paintjob. Thanks for the removal ideas folks,the Mrs has some oven cleaner lurking about Mark |

The bare aluminium will oxidise so all your efforts to polish it to a shine will go to waste. It'll need coating with something to keep the shine. Not sure what though, someone must be able to help on here!

The Mrs's bike has bare alloy on it(I took off the laquer for her),she polishes it with Sovol which seems to have sealed it quite well. If not,well,I'm a sprayer by trade,so I'll give it a squirt of 2K lacquer,that'll seal it. |
