I am a powdercoater. So I took them to work sandblasted them and put them in the vibe machine with steel shot in it for about 4 hrs. I still need to hand polish them for a mirror shine. that polish was machine done

those are stock parts footpegs are steel. I believe the a-arms are steel too . If anybody knows what the stock parts are let me know so i can know which polish to use

the brake pedal, pegs and bumper are steel. Your front drums are magnesium, I think. I've used mothers mag and wheel polish on aluminum, steel and magnesium parts. Works really good as long as the parts have been prepped properly.

i sandblasted them and put them in a vibe , which is basically a industrial washing machine with steelshot in it for polishing. ok thats why the brakes didnt shine . what metal are the a-arms?

I've got a steering stem that I sanded down and polished. Once I get it to where I want it, I'll shoot it with some clear coat to keep it looking good
