You were right!
Funny how I picked the right one at first and then second guessed and picked the wrong one.
Multiple choice questions tend to do that... your gut instinct on first guess are usually more correct than what your brain tells you

Showing my age! None of that CGI stuff when I grew up, I thought it went well with the metal alloy theme (Mazinger Z, X-Metal). The Juliets were custom.@XMetalAddict... as far as Im concern, your avatar is the best.
@jdd32....I was right, right? Maybe I'm beginning to learn more stuff here.
The first gen plasma/titanium coatings are unique but unfortunately are prone to tarnish/yellowing, black stain corrosion, and eventually getting rubbed off into a polished/sheen patches. My previous approach of restoring these frames had addressed the yellowing and about 90% removal of black stains but had limitations with addressing rubbed off polished/sheen effects. So after spending a great deal of time R&D on addressing this issue, the new approach delivers much better results of restoration by addressing all 3 problems. Here's some Ti finish frame half done to clearly show the before/after.

I've got to get your email and/or mailing address so I may send you my grubby looking R1's.
I have not received them yet but the photos of them clearly show the black tarishing problem around the nose bomb areas. I was thinking of using muriatic acid/water mix or maybe even Mother's Aluminum polish but I don't want to destroy the original finish.
I also saw the person anodizing barious X-Metal pieces & that may be another option but I prefer to keep them as stock as possible.
Thanks
WOW! Those look absolutely beautiful!Ahhh the good o memories. This method of restoration has pretty much been replaced with the new "reinvented G1 plasma/titanium finish" method where the troublesome coating is removed and the frame refinished so that it'd never flake, peel, nor encounter black corrosion ever again. Here's pics of an R1 recently done using the new method
