Restoring Araya 7x's

[Weeksy]

Hi dudes,

Just bought my first old school cruiser, and you know what's it like getting decent OS rims in 24"....

So I am forced to make my existing silver 7x's lovely again.

What are your suggestions on how to do this? They are pretty good condition actually, with only a deep marks. They just have lots of faint scratches and are patinated - they look 25 years old!

Your help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Strip them down and send to Custom Colour Parts who can tidy up the deep scratches, remove the light ones and re-anodise them to look like new again

so easy to let some one do the hard work  " have a go yourself"    1st .................... if you carnt do then get some one else involved

So true Neil however, if he wants them returned to original colour best to let a professional do it with the og finish

I have just spent 3 hours Auto'sol'n my Chrome T.A, my fingers a fooking aching and although the forks are transformed, im still not happy with how the frame looks, gonna leave it until day time to decide wether to re-chrome it or not.

Paul at Custom Colour will re-finish in factory type silver anno , did a cracking job on some 7B's for Waxintaxin  . They look much better IMO than polished .
