Wow - Keith, I think thats the first picture of the "Monster" project I have seen on here. I saw some paint I liked the other day for my project - called Cosmic Black Pearl.
Back on topic - I also stripped mine and polished when I did the engine covers, cam cover, brake pedal, shift pedal, fork tubes, and heel plate. I love polished aluminum - and no they are not hard to maintain - but we have no salt or other road chemicals to contend with here.
