Radiator Finish
 

I have a brand new Be Cool radiator in the box and was noticing the top part of the radiator has a few nicks/small scratches. I was wondering if anyone may knows how to get rid of these, I would like to keep the natural fininsh and am trying to stay away from the "bling." Is there a way to to get rid of the scratches or polish the aluminum without making it too shiny?

Try scotchbrite rub in one direction back and forth. Look at some of Exile choppers custom bikes that is how they get a cool brushed aluminun look throughout thier builds. Another cool thing I have seen then do is ceramic coat (hpc) frames and then hit then with scotchbrite the whole frame looks like its stainless steel. Its a nice alternative to the shiney chrome.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback :thumbsup:

Pushrod is on the right track with the coatings. I've spent some time with the place that does my coatings, and they've shown me quite a few different shades of flat, high temp coatings, including a few that look exactly like raw aluminum.

Scotchbrite
 

Just curious which grade/grit of scotchbrite should I use maroon or grey ????
