Old tool finish Q?
« on: February 05, 2018, 03:11:59 PM »
 I've collected a few wrenches for the 750 K0 tool kits, what's the best way to refresh the finish without stripping and plating?

 A friend called yesterday and bought some Honda 50 minibike stuff that was vaporblasted. He's looking for someone that does it.
