Yes mate you will but only with a green scotch brite.Thanks Guys.
**** - as part of the prep, will i need to sand back the bar a bit to get the epoxy primer to hold, or will it be okay?
Green troll - yours looks good, and i agree heaps better than the alloy bar. thats why i reckon mine needs to be done. Did you use the wire brush just to clean the thing or was it to 'rough it up' a bit to hold the primer better?
