Yeah, these are the ones going on my car in the photo, I have the other set polished up and ready to get painted. I only have the semi-gloss black engine paint like in photo but if anyone is interested I can get any color. I do use the best paint they got, in a can.

I did the same to my tubes. Got the build-up on my facebook page, if anyone wants to see how they look in the SC.

Its pretty easy here is what I did.

1.) take the tubes off and cleaned them well
2.) I used a small air grinder with a gritty pad to remove top paint and to remove the pitting.
3.) after your done with that start hand sanding with 400, then 800, then 1000 wet sand then use a buffer wheel the make it shine!
3.) wet sand the hole paint surface to remove all oils and better for the paint to stick.
4.) Tape the polished with blue paint tape use a knife to cut along the edges
5.) paint with you color of choice (recommend engine paint 500d and up) 2-3 coats.




Thanks,
Jerry
