Alloy polishing guide

Pisti, sorry for the thread steal, it's looking good. Shame about your face.

Cheeky cunt! ;-)

Like bike frame's and most other things, it can be modified too

I used to use auto sol and really fine sand paper. Always worked good on cr-mo bmx frames

what the hell is a dental dam??

i'm at work, and don't really want to google it!

Oh dear Spag. Google it when you get home.

I did yesterday night..... I glad I didnt know before

glag

wearing one now?

Finished!

Very pleased. Satin finish(first time the fella had ever done satish, he normally does mirror finish). Polished it up with autosol and come up a treat :-)

Thanks to Dammit for the hook up :-)

That's bloody noice. Needs a Bianchi headbadge and black components (IMO)

It'll be all black and silver, gonna build it up in a bit....

nice

Graham, how much it was? do you know if you can take the frame with paint, or need to be "clean", as it was yours?

You shoulda just bought a Langster

Not sure mate, I just stripped it with Nitromors first but give him a bell/mail to find out

£50 including a set of riser handlebars too. Dropped it off Monday, he'd finished on Thursday, picked it up today. :-)

good work, it has that classy brushed finish

Pistanator, have you built the frame up? How's it looking?

+1 show us the final product

Fucking lovely. What's changed? How has the finish held up, has it gone funny or stayed nice? Think I'd want a more modern saddle on there myself but whatevs.

yeah i like that alot. i have an old mtb that i build up sometimes that looks v similiar but my paint job isn't completely gone.

• Frame's fine, not even re-polished it yet
  
• Stays, seat tube and downtube, gets covered in rain, dirt etc, brush it off with a dry cloth when dried, fine
  
• Stayed pretty shiny and still loks ace(imo)
  
• How much more modern saddle can you get than a brand new Kashimax Aero?
  

....oh, and wet n dryed the celeste 'Bianchi' decal off the carbon forks, Left a slight 'hew'(sp)/buff marks so just put some black 'BIKES SUCK' stickers over the top to cover a bit yet still show the carbon, nice and subtle

Looking great G.

Great job Graham.

I prefer the brushed finish to the mirror finish that I got from them- and they charged you 50% of what I paid, which indicates either how much more work the mirror finish was, or that they are secret scousers.

Tempted to get the Fuji done now, but we'd have to make sure we did not go to the same place at the same time Graham.

But mine would be and look far more superior ;-)
