Transparent paint on hubs, brake drums mirror polished

Post by expercat »

I mirror polished all the hubs, brake drums and front/rear brake plate of my Suzuki GTs (380 B, 750 J and M series).
The answer is: originally there was a transparent paint on this items or only for the late series?
Thanks for help.

They all came with the clear lacquer on the aluminum parts going back to the early sixties, I have yet to see a brake plate or engine cover that didn't have the clear coat.
