Went with the polish over paint.
My little variable speed grinder is going to need some new brush's after this rebuild.



Seals don't look bad, oil was green. Anybody know the make of green fork oil? Quick search came up with FOX.

I replaced the stem valve, holding on to the old one rubber seal dosen't quite look the same. Now I'm on the hunt for some brass air fitting to match.

What should the shock air pressure be?
I thought of putting a mini gauge on it. Just for looks

Saved alot of time with Peel Away. I used in my house on some old shellacked moldings. One took 20 or 30 min and the clear coat came right off. Saved alot of wire wheel time. Did a test spot on caliper and within a few min I could see metal. Seems a lot safer then Tal-Strip.

I have my three go to liquid restore solutions.

Rust = Evapo Rust
De-greaser = Pine Sole
Paint = Peel Away
