The Gas Cap

As part of restoring motorcycles, I have learned a lot about dealing with metal finishes.  Anyone can go out and buy a new part, but a true restorer will work with what he has and will try to bring back (RESTORE!!) what once was.  Here is the Harley's gasoline tank cap I restored.

The original color scheme on the cap was red, white, and blue.  I restored to black and red because 1) it was easier and 2) I preferred that color scheme.  Incredible what the right chemicals, a little know how, and a lot of patience will do!
