[QUOTE="oexing, post: 176836, member: 1493"] Anyone believes the chromed fuel tanks or rims were sandblasted at the factory before painting the tanks and lining them ?? Nooo, never ! I say nobody has ever found sandblasted lines and patches that were painted originally and later the paint stripped for restoration. And nobody has ever found gold lines dropped on the ground from engine vibrations . Sandblasting would not be practical to do in the paint shop at the assembly line and tens of thousands of bikes . Same goes for stainless polished parts, not any need for special treatment before painting. You just mask the tank or rim with tape and degrease with silicone remover thoroughly and paint as usual, no troubles. . . Vic Horex 600 4V , stainless Devon rims from Doug Richardson 30 years ago, rear ss spring shrouds too, meant to go on the Rapides : [ATTACH type="full"]61120[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
