polishin rocker cover n timing cover

[keggy]

can ne1 tell me how i can mirror polish my rocker cover n timing cover?

strip the paint off and then you need to get stuck in with some p1500 paper and before that perhaps some wire wool and use some Autosol metal polish.

It's a right ballache and takes forever, made easier if you have some sort of polishing disc attachment for a drill.

You will not get the chrome finish very easily

trick is to use a heavy grit and work down to a fine grit with soapy water

[JonChapman]

So is the timing cover alloy?

Best way to do it is to strip any paint off with Nitro-mors, and sand back the cast surface finish with say...200grit paper. Then gradually get finer and finer up until 1500 wet and dry. Then, get yourself to a Motorbike store, and buy a polishing kit (should include a couple of mops on drill bits, a couple of bars of compound) and get to it. To protect the surface, use something like Mr Sheen (I know...) to stp the road salt getting to it - it shouldn't be too bad as its not very exposed, but its better to do that than to repolish it every time you go to a show or something

Hope this helps someone
