Re: [ST] Scabby footpegs and case



I'd have to say that the BEST thing to use for the frame would be to have it 
recoated.

The silver smooth finish hammerite is a pretty close colour match and can be 
brush applied without primer so it's probably one of the easiest ways to 
achieve an acceptable and durable repair to the finish. Whether it's good 
enough for your tastes only you can decide.

Why not try it on a small inconspicuous area and see if it's OK?
Hammerite is cheap :O)

FWIW, the frame finish on my '99 ST was still perfect after 40K miles of all 
weather all year use in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. The only 
slight corrosion was on the footrest hangers where boots had worn through 
the powdercoat and allowed the weather in. The Hammerite worked perfectly on 
those and I'm a fussy Bastid when it comes to my paintwork. :O)

Howlin'
