ACS Rotor Stem - Restro options? (pics)
« on: December 04, 2011, 05:06 PM »
Hi all - I have the below stem and wondering what are my restro options?  Its going onto a white and chrome build; its supposed to be a cheap/rider build so dont want to spend too much..

So, Im guessing:

1) strip back to metal and polish (I have a new bench polisher so could be fun).  Would this come out okay?
2) get it anodised white.  Approx how much would this cost and who can do it?
3) Send it to Dan for a powercoat.  Not too sure I like powdered stems..




Thoughts?

Paul

You can't get things anodised in white I think, try polishing it and if you don't like it get it powdered :daumenhoch:

polishing it will be fine,just remove the major marks with wet n dry first.you can get a new decal for the top once its done.you could always spray it with rattle cans ,just make sure you use an acis etch primer which you can buy in aerosol.I will be doing the same to my 'fakelifter' when it arrives! :daumenhoch:

Hey all

I had a very generous offer to get it painted white - this sounded great but a few money issues have forced my hand and I am now going to restore it myself..  Today I got some Wet n Dry but my buggery-wanking Sainsburys had sold out of Oven Pride.

84performer - just sent you a PM about the decal..  Big thanks..

Obviously I will eventually close down this thread with some final money-shots of the stem..

ta,

Paul

Hi Wildon - I think Mr 84performer has sent me 2 decals and I only need one.  If so, ill happilly continue the Christmas love that Mr 84 started and forward on the unused decal.

Leave it with me and ill shout when they arrive.  Christmas post pobably means they will be a few days, I guess.

ta,

Paul
