MR. MOM;

I'm curious; did they indicate if they're first sanding it down with a conformal belt sander, to get rid of the as-cast, bead-blasted look?

I'd be very much interested in seeing the finished piece.

Cheers

Nice Chrome Job

That kickstand looks great. I think I will have to consider chroming mine now. I had previously removed mine and sanded it down polished iI up and clear coated it because I couldn't stand looking down at that nasty factory casting job. Good work! Does look great!!
