I did a little tinkering today, ultrasonically cleaned a pair of oem front brake disc's, also my givi rack was looking tatty, so I stripped the paint off, down to the bare metal, cleaned it up, etch primed it and started to give it a coat of hammerite satin black, I forgot what a pain it is to use hammerite.
but done properly the finish is very good, I also re-lacquered a pair of mirrors that have been hydro dipped in carbon effect.
I 've also been struggling to try and drill out a couple of stubborn bolts, even using dewalt extreme drill bits and moly slip, I can't get the buggers out, I might have to take them to a garage to get them removed.... :(
