Nice job Gary,

A few years ago, I polished up the magnesium bulkheads, motor mounts and hubs on my yz10. After a short time, it became dull because of the oxidation. I re-polished everything and I sprayed some clear coat over the parts.

Just an FYI, I used a wire brush on my dremel to do the job. It cleaned up the part from a gray color back to a silver color (but not too shiney).

regards,
highwayracer

any bros can share how to remove the old paints from the lexan body ??.......

I heard from someone in other forum ......using "dot 4 " brake fluid can remove the paints.......seems messy...... .......not brave enough to try........

any other better methods (apart from buying a new one of course) ??.....

Brake fluid and nitro fuel can both cloud the lexan. Try a citrus based cleaner.

this is where im up to after a week of polishing, dying and cleaning going for the black stealth look

I love the works 93 - such a great looking YZ10 when fully built. I'm thinking of selling off this one if anyone is interested:

Really nice. I personally wouldn't have dyed the white bits but it looks very good. What's the hop-up motor mount you have put on there, Corally?

Such a funky design especially that front, torsion bar system (is that the right word?).

[GJW]

im a fan of the white also a lot of the parts where very badly dis-coloured so the quick and earier option were to dye of coarse anyone got any spares for these i need rear shock tower,front arms one more matching ti turnbuckle and some new bulkhead covers would be nice....the motor mount is team suzuki ed

Fair enough about the white parts, dying to black does really refresh old bits. If you give them a super thorough clean and a polish before hand they can come out looking like new. But you all ready new that.

Anyway...Team Suzuki for the win!

I had been using some kind of bleach/ cleansing agents .......trying to revert those spare parts already became yellowish (white originally) back to white......... but not succeeded yet up to this moment.......

Hi have this still available !

I personally, have found that bleach kind of burns the plastics and makes them yellow.

Best thing I have found to do is just scrub them clean.
