Thanks limestang, what you did in an hour, took me a day! Well Im a lil rusty haven't used a lathe since high school (back when schools had metal shop) I forget how much fun it is to machine parts. My speed is slow and extra slow

Now to find an anodizer

If they aren't going to be handled shodog did a good write up on restoring some tecnacraft wheels of that color. I'd have to search later for it if it isn't found or posted.

yeah it's basically yellow translucent paint, from what I remember. Tamiya I think.

Yep, can't find the original thread I'm thinking of but a couple samples in this post

Those do look sick. I looked at the link you posted. Where can you find this stuff for sale at? Did you use the grounding color or sprayed over the original silver finish? I would like to pick up some along with the grounding color to do a rear triangle on my son's MTB.

Here is my old Suzuki Katana 600 that I restored. I polished the forks then sprayed them with Tamiya clear orange.



I have also them to spray tecnacraft wheels. I could have anodized them but the paint is reversible where as anodizing would be tougher to remove.

Great idea guys ! The color really close too. I'll try search for the thread thanks

You guys think it's a translucent orange or yellow? Found this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331234232796?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Shodogs post said clear orange? I would try orange.

[shodog]

The clear orange I closer to the AE gold color. The more you spray, the darker the color will appear

A big thanks to Romulus and shodog

Yes they did! Nicely done.

Looks great. At a fraction of the cost of the originals too I'm sure. Great job on them.
