The front bow on my soft top frame seems to have lost its plating. Not sure exactly what the plating was but the ends where it was exposed is down to the mild steel. The rest of the frame is mostly Chrome plated or aluminium, but this bit seems to have more of a mat/brushed finish.
I got a quote from a chrome plater for £170, so decided to look for an alternative.
The ends looked like this close up.
10 minutes on the buffing wheel, and the ends look like this.
I'll 2k clear coat the ends as it's just mild steel, the mid section is covered by flaps on the soft top so isn't visible.
Do you think the clear will stick?
