Bolt refinishing

(1/3) > >>

TezzerTel:
So I'm (slowly) starting to rebuild my 550F1. The long bolts that go through the frame and engine/gearbox casings are corroded on the heads and have been poorly painted over in the past. What do people do with these? I was thinking of taking them back to bare metal and then maybe painting them with Cerakote in silver or something similar?

Thoughts?

DomP:
I bought a Gateros zinc nickel plating kit, well worth it for what you're doing.  Many weekends ast year I had it set up on the kitchen table while was rebuilding my F1.

Johnny4428:
+ 1 for the Gateros plating kits. Not expensive and very satisfying.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
On my 400 I had all the engine bolts with a few other items  re-plated cost about £40 locally.

SteveW:
I’m replacing mine with stainless where possible and polishing the head to remove any numbers.
