Acid on swingarm
Doh!!
 Its basically now mirror shiny where the acid went (used autosol on it).  How do I get the original (matt) finish back? |

Re: Acid on swingarm
Some energetic "wet & drying" would do the job I would think

Re: Acid on swingarm
AFAIK the matt finish is caused by laquer, so if that's been removed I can't see anything but re-laquering doing the job.

Re: Acid on swingarm
Just pour acid all over the rest of the swinging arm and instant polished look.

Re: Acid on swingarm
Fraid so... Or more likely, replace the arm, they're really cheap (I've got a new-old-stock one in the shed to fit at some point, that cost me £30 in its original box, and I got another one ages ago for £20) But a scotchbrite pad or a brushing disc will at least take the shine out of it, give it a brushed finish instead of polished.
