usually black, brown and white (in that order) are the best for aluminum. Red, isn't that jeweler's rouge?

Been waiting overr a month for my buffer to show up.With two weeks of vacation starting today I want to get going on both the bikes.So i got;
Going to use my grinder for now.Shiny stuff here we come!
Good stuff!! I was using a real dark grey for cutting, brown for buffing, and white for polishing. They look similar to yours as the brown seems to have a redish tinge to it.
Looking forward to seeing what you can do, but one tip is don't get your wheels and parts too hot, I think that's where I went wrong with mine.

The flash seems to have made the brown redder than it looks in person.Got some stripper for the clear coats to.When have I not entertained you with pics?

Your pic's are always great
Stripper is good for the clear, but I suggest doing what I did following advice from Suzuki_Don... strip, sand, then start cutting and polishing.

The bike is coming along nicely (I have to say that being the wife)!
The only problem I am going to have with the bike when it is finished is the color scheme, red and black and gold pin stripes just don't work for me. Wish that someone could suggest something different he would like. Of course my choice would be obvious PURPLE!

Finally got the pieces loose wheel/white polished and clear coated
I'm not a big fan of having to keep re-polishing stuff.I lose a bit of shine but I can live with that.Now I can get going.Canceling the buffer.The grinder does a good job.

Putting my freshly polished pieces together has been more hassle than I thought.Putting the right side together I snapped the passenger peg pin.Well I've got more so I polished up another one.
Yeah polished up a left instead of a right
All good now.Painted a few bits to.Swinger's in the frame,battery box to.
Entered the build off,sent the guy running it a link to this thread.His answer was "Wow that's crazy......good luck with the build."
