Just curious.. exactly what type of finish did (non-LE) Mahles originally have and what methods have you found to be effective in returning them to their former glory?
i.e. Does silver paint/powder look right? were they just clearcoated? Is the casting hard enough to be media blasted? RUSS |

Lookin Good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I Glass beaded the one's off the LE until I found a set of Fuchs, They look kinda good with the soft cast finnish but quickly stained from the steel lugs. Silver paint is best . Remember powder coat is HEAVIER (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
