    Got Bored Today

    Got a little bored today, so i did this:

    Decided to polish up my rocker cover. Take the rust and flaking paint off. Only half done, still a bit of deep rust. Then ill just polish it up with some metal polish stuff.

    Nice one. I painted mine yellow. Looks better than oily/dirty/rusty.

    hey man nice work dont be afraid to use some grittier sand paper , say 180 or 200 to get to the deep rust then smooth that out with some 400 then 600or 800 and polish , u could even do 1200 before u polish if u want it super shiny.
    cheers brenton
