hes not chroming the skid rails, hes polishing them and powdercoated them clear so the polished look wont fade.

AmatoSRX: PM ya about powdercoating some parts for me.

did you do any sanding on the rails to remove the oxidation? Or did you just go at it with the buffing wheel?

I just used steel wool and mothers alum. polish on my rails, gave me enough shine to make me happy.

i just put it on the wheel and buffed out all of the scratches.

Looks good all them parts.You have a little patience I see.Me to,to a point.Just had all my skid parts painted Blue,cleaned the rails a bit and put on new wheels.That's the end of that.Just want to keep the parts looking new so that they won't rust,but not spending a lot of money and time to do it either.My sled is not going into a sled show or anything.
