Scratched Headers- What can be done?
 

I have two sets of Stelling headers that over the years have been scratched up. I was thinking of having them coated to a polished aluminum look but I love the bright stainless. Can I send them back to Stellings or can someone else polish them out?

Do a search on oso this has been covered before, if no luck, there are several polishing companys out there that should be of help.

Send Them Back To Stellings They Can Polish Them Again.

Stellings can be reached at: (559) 485-9394

Like most marine companies, they are closed until January 2nd

They should be able to make them look new.

Or save some money and wet sand them with 1000grit
and use some 3m rubbing compound on them with the
Buffer.


Works great just takes time.

Thanks guys.:D

Depending on how deep the scratches are, use some Mother's Mag Wheel polish and a lot of elbow grease. For deeper scratches, wet sand or use a more agressive compound first.

Get some Blue Job ,buy it over the internet or at your local motorcycle shop,it's used to get the blue out of cooked motorcycle pipes,it works great !Add a little water,it works !

I would recommend 1200 or 1500. Then use a polish. 1000 grit is a bit rough for my liking.

If ya look in the Stelling repair manual
it says to start with 1000 then 1200 then 2000 micro fine.
then use 3m 5380 med duty rubbing compound.:drink:

Stainless is tough as nails
Not comparible to Chroma clear
