Hummmm probably visual really, give it that ‘dirty grubby’ look😀🤷♂️ I’ve seen some custom shop relic fenders and tried to replicate them really (I read up on the graphite powder tip) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Graphite is certainly a useful dry lubricant for many applications, whether it imparts a 'slippery' feel to the back of a neck (if that's the desired thing), who knows..
