Polishing brake resi's

[Flanagans twin]

hey guys i was just wondering how i could possibly polish my brake and clutch levers..and brake fluid resivoir etc..? thanks!

Just take them off, load some good compound on a wheel and go to it. That black stuff is a bitch to get off sometimes, but it can be done. Ive never done levers, my wifes are black and likes them, and mine are silver already, but Im sure they could be done as well...

Get a little dremel tool with a wire brush wheel on it and use that to get the black stuff off then take it to a buffer wheel for a while and should come out looking good.

I did my throttle cover and the hardest part was getting the black paint out of the lettered areas.

My levers came silver/gray. It was like $9 a peice or something like that. I wish i had your ambition! :woot:

That's one of the hardest pieces on the banshee along with the calipers and front hubs. Once you start it there's no going back. Well there is but it won't be pretty. Good luck and do some searching on here for more polishing info if needed.

if you guys want the black paint off, spray it with gasket remover it will instantly remove the paint. like spray, rinse ,done! this stuff will also remove stickers in a heartbeat .

go to your automotive store and buy some aircraft paint remover. spray it on and let it sit for a bit. WEAR GLOVES. this stuff will burn. it took most of mine off. the rest came off with the dremel.

Somebody on here said oven cleaner was good too, i never used it but have used the aircraft remover. The stuff in the can sucks i use the metal gallon can stuff, it's way better than the spray.

Wen i do stuff like that i use paint stripper and a wire brush. Then hit it with some blue magic. Works well.
