White is the way to go I reckon. Blue gloves make the work really slow.....and red? Well, just stay in bed.  |

I was worried about the extra weight of the inner tubes slowing me down but the weight of all that rubber on the over sized tyres was slowing me down more I reckon |

Well I tried some yellow plating today sproosing up the carbs one of the brackets blasted and cleaned on wire wheel all ready to go!  and after zincing and dip for 30 to 40 secs in the yellow  then took a really rusty choke bracket  it turned out quite good  with the engine brackets blasted and painted all the tidying up has made a nice difference 😀  photos to upload |

Still learning Rich it is giving varying results water temp seem critical and getting the power just so is another critical part but for doing stuff for yourself it is great just having it there when us take something of your bike and cleaning it up is great I would say a little blast cabinet is a must and a wire wheel cus the cleaner stuff is the better it is👍😀
