I'd like to figure out what the coating on the switch pods is. Some were black and some silver but it's not the raw aluminum alloy finish. Taking a black one over to the Cerakote guy tomorrow with the wheel hubs to see if he has an idea
I think the black and silver is anodized, check out this web site Caswell Plating https://www.caswellplating.com/ This is where my electroplating system came from
I just bought a 1978 CB400A. I don't want to fully restore the bike just clean it up and ride it. Instead of painting the rim i cleaned the rust off and spayed it with Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Enamel. They look nice and keep the factory look. Painting them black make them look strait out of the hood.
