Removing rust from chrome?
Question from Stevo:
Hi I have a just bought a second hand motorbike and the chrome is all covered in rust. Whats the best way to restore this without taking your parts to be re-chromed? Also the engine is a dull grey colour, any advice on how to get it looking shiny again?
Answer from Septone:
Rusted Chrome parts:
Initially you could try fine steel wool and metal polish, if the rust is too severe you will need to sand the rusty areas, apply Septone rust converter, apply 2 coats of Septone etch primer, smooth sand the primer and apply Septone aerosol chrome paint.
Dull engine colour:
The engine would need to be cleaned with Septone Degrease-all water based degreaser, a final clean with Septone wax and grease remover then apply 2-3 coats of Septone engine enamel. There is a range of engine enamel colours available.
