Is this shiny enough for YOU? :)

No worries. I've learned a lot on this forum from members, so if I can return that favor, I will.

If you improve it, share it too!

You definitely got a mirror finish to it, looks like a 2003-ish F150 behind you.

At least I got the Ford part right.

lol. Actually, looking at the picture, it really does kinda look like a newer Ford. Must just be a funky angle.

OK, I'm not nit picking, and since you are blasting it maybe that is the reason, but I can still see lines in the surface, shiny is good, but you need to have smooth before you go to shiny....

Ya'll may remember that on July 4th of this year, it was pretty rainy in OKC. I decided to fuss around with my GP100, so I got out the Mother's Mag Polish and started in. Got it looking rather nice, but I had trouble getting my fat finger into the nooks and crannies around the rear sight.

Not to worry, sez I. I'll just get my Dremel.

Good news, bad news. Good was that the stainless buffed up to a near-mirror finish. Bad news is that the hand-ppolished parts were not as nice. Ended up polishing the entire gun! Looks almost like a shiny nickel finish. (The Dremel and a bit of Flitz or Mother's will also spiff up the front of the cylinder nicely.)

Oh... bling is coming... just wait until I post pictures of it tonight or tomorrow.

I've got an "idear"...

Lets just say, a hotrod look isn't complete without this...

It's later....... Where's the rest of the pics?

My guess is a flame job.

Agreed. I think the key is, next time to wet sand it starting around 400 or so, and going up to 2000 or so, THEN buffing it.
