I am MAD

[racin 400]

I am so mad at when i am polishing my side cases.Ok i stripped em with aircraft paint stripper i started useing 150grit on the first sanding round then i used 300 then 600 then buffing wheels with jewlers rouge and they are scratched to hell can somebody help me before i burn my 400.:grr :mad: :grr :mad:

[racin 400]

This is the angle i was talkin about but they are shinny hwen u look at em straight but i can still see the scratches.:mad:

[diangelo#67]

keep gowing up with the grit try to get up to about 1000 grit before the rouge is used that should help. oh and make sure your drill is high speed when you polish your final coat:devil

[EX 80]

the line you see are from the 150 grit, too coarse for that. should of started with like a 220. Another tip, don't go in circles, sand and polish in one direction.

[BrianWrightR6]

MY GOD! That is going to take allot of sanding. :eek2:

[racin 400]

i got it all shinny now yes it took **** loads of sanding.

[Sparks425Ex]

Wow man. you didn't need to to drop way down to 150.

I tend to strip then start at 400 unless there are large inperfections. Then I work my way up to 1000 then 1500 wet. I did 2000 wet on a set before and they were sweet but it is just overhaul goign that high....

[racin 400]

I think 2000 is to much also.Yes the reason i did 150 i ran out of 250.

Now your arms going to be too tired to spank your monkey tonight.LOL
220 min. usally start with 400 and go up to atleast 1000.The higher you go the less buffing you need.

[Rip_Tear]

I like how the cases shine themselves from your pants/boots rubbing on them.... I love how sweet they look when they are all shiney but I cant keep up with that kinda work.

[racin 400]

when i go to my uncles to use it.I don't have anything pc'd on my 400.And going to my uncles this life time is very very very Rare considering my dad hates him and my unlce hates my dad.B/c my uncle tried to fight my dad because he was drunk:rolleyes: and my dad wasn't and my dad broke his arm in 2 spots.

[toby400ex]

are you guys doing the polishing without taking the case off, i would think it would be hard to even get in the nooks and crannies with sand paper:confused:

[racin 400]

i am thinkin about just doin the faces of the case.And yes i am keppin em on.

[racin 400]

I thought the stock pegs need a lil cleanen up;).And yes i am gonna clear coat em so they don't rust.

I don't know why people go and use sandpaper on aluminum when they are trying to polish something, get the stuff sandblasted and then start polishing, sanding is for paint and wood, you might as well be taking the paint off with a grinder.
