Polishing question

Project10AE · 07-10-2009, 12:13 PM

I just use power tools (die grinder, dremel, etc) to get off stuff like casting marks, seams, etc... after that I usually hit it with the blast cabinet to knock down and even out the finish... after that its all about the elbow grease until its time to actually polish.

Hence why I have started just smoothing out parts and having them powdercoated... SOOO much easier than trying to get a perfect polish finish and none of the maintenance of having to re-polish / clean spots off of polished things.
