03DMshee Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 There is a good powder in clear made for polished lips on wheels that has been holding real good on a few of my buddies cars...its made to withstand the elements and it doesnt turn yellow with UV light...I will get you the exact powder brand if you like...other than that it sounds like these guys gave you plenty of other avenues to choose from...

RagunCajun Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 No, it was run through a machine that brushes the steel before it's even assembled. I was just curious to see if any moisture was on the metal before it got PC's. I thought about doing a swing arm, pipes and a-arms raw but looks like i'll pass due to rust.

dave5.0 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I attempted it with a raw drag pipe a LONG time ago. What a pita that was. You couldn't actually ride the bike anywhere. Shit would cake up on it. Then you end up scraping it off which looks nice on the pipe. If its a clean sand drag bike you might be able to pull it off. But not on something that gets trail ridden or even a duner I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I know of guys who spray down there dirt cars with some sort of oil. Makes it real easy to spray off after a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 A buddy of mine sprays his entire quad with the exception of seat and bars with wd-40. No matter what kind of mud he encounter, a quick hose off and the bike is show room clean again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about doing a swing arm, pipes and a-arms raw but looks like i'll pass due to rust. most clear PC is porous, its classed as a decorative PC not a protective PC, at least working with clear coatings (paint or PC) nothing is hidden and you can keep an eye whats going on corrosion-wise, or if something like a swinger was starting to crack somewhere you could see it and sort it before it becomes a break.
