So we started the tear down of the seat rack tonight. The black painted bits are off to be powder coated next week.
However, we want to freshen up the seat rails, actuating lever, spring and whatever other metal unpainted parts there are. Is plating the way to go? If so - what type of plating? Any other ideas? Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

The slide part of the rails need to have almost nothing. I did a bang up job of 3 coats of gloss paint and then the seats wouldn't slide on the rails...sand me down some sliders!
