How to get the original alu colour back  of a o.g ripper

They were a ball burnished style finish, have a look at Meticulus recent Ripper build here: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=133352.0

No shiney shiney finish there

Ball burnishing an item frame sized is difficult as no one has the equipment to do it. tanks are all too small ( all that i have found ) so no real way of doing it propoerly tbo

[meticulous]

its also called barrel rolling, where the frames are put in barrels with very fine balls....

something like this!

aha  kind of hard to do i notice hmmz   i will get a solution for it, some way or the other way

but the  soap bath is doing the ripper very well
its  really in good shape after all these years
