frame covers - brooker81 - 29-10-13

Right this weekend stripping bike for winter work etc, sending of plastic bits to be dipped etc. What should i do with the frame covers ?? i was thinking of spraying with Simoniz aluminium engine enamel, has anyone done it or have any better ideas for cleaning/ removing pitting?? i dont want them to be dipped as i have a silver engined fazer and don't think it would look great. Any ideas??

Silver engine here too. Had mine powder coated satin black and they look very good IMHO.

Frame plugs were bought off Devils yam from this forum.

here the frame covers are painted with the simoniz engine silver and then lacquered. the plugs are colour coded to the frame:

and this is how it looks overall:

it looks better in reality than the pictures make it look. i have toyed with the idea of swapping the colours round but other projects have taken priority to be honest.
