Nice restoration!

 

[Springer Tom]

Well, thanks, but that bike is original.....

Nice restoration!

 

[Monark Owner]

Thanks for the pictures Tom. Really nice bike, I will never get mine to look like that! That is really very well preserved. I can see how parts guy thought it was restored, you really have to look close.

Black is black; Get some of the Rustoleum rust reformer and paint it on the already blackened areas. It'll turn black when dry, and stop the rust dead.

What will happen to the areas when there is chrome remaining?

If Rust Performer is similar to Loctite Extend then I don't recommend it for this. Extend turns rusted bare metal very black with a purple tinge, and leaves a plastic-like layer, very obvious.

Avoid all but the worst areas- the finish, when cured, closely resembles black oxide.
