Very surprised nobody is restoring a black whip 😳

Haven't taken the plunge to do that on mine yet, still a good rider.
How did you (did you?) refinish the black hood?
90% of the ones I see are faded out.....

If you take your time and wet sand it up to 2000 grit and get a good foam buffing pad
And buff it slowly with good compound it comes back nice. Very time consuming
Also worked great doing my blue 1978 lil whip. It took like a layer of the faded plastic off and shined like
New after. Did that about 8 years ago

Interesting! I had originally messaged with your brother R when you were waiting for the first run but my wife didnt want to redo her sled like I have my rupp.We tried to to buff out her hood but I was worried I might do more damage than good and at the time I was worried I might wreck the decals on it.I guess in retrospect they are black all the way through so there is a lot of material to work with.Food for thought.The decals look great!I have an extra hood I can go to town on now.Maybe she will have a change of heart.
