PC or Polish my Perimeter?
I have a BBR Perimeter frame that was made back in 2004. Its been well maintained but dosen have that brand new shine to it. Im Getting the new supercomp adjustable rear swingarm put on and I want them to both have the same "bling". I've been polishing the hell out of the frame with mothers aluminum/mag polish and it looks good but still want a little more "wow factor".
Should I continue to polish it myself? Take it somewhere to be professionally polished? Or should I powdercoat the frame/swinger a "Gloss Aluminum" type color?

I want Super shiny aluminum color - but not chrome.
Will powedercoating hurt the stength/integrity of the frame?

Wet sand the frame with 1000 or 1500 grit sandpaper then polish it. it will give it the look of chrome the more you polish the shinier. But you do have to keep up with it and keep it polished to keep the bling factor.
Polish. PC will start to fade after a few rides.

or do a high gloss clear PC when ur done polishing it and you won't have to keep polishing it.

No it will not hurt it.If you powdercoat it have them clear it also
You can try hitting it with an SOS pad (the ones with the soap built into them), let it sit with the soap on it for a minute, then rinse it off. It really brightens aluminum back up to the original look (not chrome). You can also try some aluminum brightener or etcher.
Dip it in parts dip, so its all rubbery. Or have someone air brush it with skulls or a bad azz paint job.
Like said above,polish it up real good and have a clear pc on it and your set,had mind powder coated 2 years ago and it's held up great.
i wouldnt powder coat the primmy frame it would chip off and look really cheap plus it will dull after a few rides as your boots/clothes rub on it, and the clear powder coat would loose the shine too!
for the blingo blango polish its hard work but it looks the dogs bollocks!
what about anodise after polishing the frame???

sand it sand it sand it , the higher grit you use the shinier it will be when you put the polish on it
i say powdercoat it, be different.
if you polish it, take my advice and Zoop Seal it when you're done to extend time between re-polishing. . . ::: Z O O P S Products, Inc. - ZoopSeal ::: You'll thank me in the long run!!!
