Jdub goes there 1981 650e rebuild

[DomsKat550]

When waiting for parts or other engine building delays, I'm trying to keep busy polishing parts, touching up emblems, etc.
Not sure I like the chromish appearance of the case covers. Any tips for making them look more stock in appearance? 20240810_083304.jpg

You probably figured out how to make the highly polished aluminum look more stock, but I hit the faces with horizontal 1,500 grit wet, then sides with vertical sanding.

Thanks for the tip Dom.
I was amazed at what a fine wire wheel and some polish and buffing could do a dull piece of dull aluminum.
Ill give it a shot.
