So I've had my Firebird white powder coated, and while it looks pretty awesome, would anyone recommend polishing it with a fine lapping paste or T-Cut to make it look even better... or should I just leave it?
Cheers in advance! :daumenhoch:

id have thought leave it .if it gets bit dusty etc clean it with bit lighter fluid brings grease etc off really well .(thanks for the tip on that del :daumenhoch:)

When I first uppacked my Rebel I had just received back from SBD, I knocked it over and it hit a metal chair. I almost cried as I noticed a mark on the top tube. I wiped it, rubbed it but still it wouldnt shift.
I then decided to get the autosol abrasive polish out and very lightly polished out the mark. It completely disappeared, couldnt believe my eyes.
One of the benefits of powder I suppose, being so durable.
But it did also leave a nice shine on the frame afterwards. Just be carefull not to rub too hard.

ive used 1200 wet and dry b4 to get the powder nice and shiny er lol
then just t cut it to bring the shine back

ive applied 2 pack laquar to mine,over the top of powder, to make it look like glass... ;)

like lazy says t cut is fine but dont use it on a matt finish :daumenhoch:
