    If you have rust on your transfare cylinders (Komori full cylinders)
    I have a very good solution (and i do not mean buy a Heidelberg)
    use it once and it will hold for years , looks good and will not fail.
    also good for sellers who want to sell a press with no rust :)

    Chrom cylinders

    Dear Sir
    Chrom cylinders are easy to repair once you have the right equipment & know how.
    you refil the chrom missing layer by layer with electrolisis to get the right surface that will re-protect the cylinder as if it was original chrom.

    This is not cheap but worth it
    If you want we can send someone to you to do the job - we have a very good guy doing this for years.

    Ok, but if you cant get them rechromed, this is what I did.First I cleaned and sanded off rust, wipe down cycliners with v-120 then alcohol. After completely clean, spray paint them with rustoleum primer. worked like a champ. apply light even coats.

    Solution is a polimer that connects to the metal like steel

    A special polimer designed for very bad conditions for steel , will connect to the steel & rust in a way that you will have no problems for long long years

    Apply with a brush or spray - what ever easy for you
    no need to clean before- direct on the rust and forget the problem you ever had

    Cost - about 46 $ / liter
    2 hands will do
    a liter is good for 2 cylinders if not 3
