removing clearcoat Get some aircraft stripper from an auto parts store, or paint remover from Walmart. Get the kind you brush on, not the kind you spray on from a can.
Mask off the painted areas you don't want stripped with plastic and masking tape, brush on some of the chemical, and in about 10 minutes hose it off. You can repeat if you need to. All the clearcoat will be gone.
You can then use Semi-chrome polish to shine it up by hand, or get an air-powered die grinder, some 4-inch buffs, and some white rouge compound at the Home Depot and buff it out to a chrome-like finish.
EastwoodCo.com sells buffing supplies also, and some great spray-can clear if you want to re-coat after you buff. I buffed out the aluminum forks and switch boxes on my Intruder, and they look sweeeeeet!
