I have a main body that has had the bead blast finish removed, I am wondering who could polish the body to give it that chrome look?

You could do it yourself if you get a buffing wheel, and attach it to a bench grinder. YOu can gets kits with polishing rouge ask a hardware store. I have a store around me called harbor freight i got a whole kit there.

It takes quite a while though. To be honest, given the current resale value of twist-lock Automag bodies, you could probably buy one used for a few dollars more than you'd spend on polishing supplies.

You can get it close to miror finish with a few sheets of automotive wet or dry sandpaper. Start with 600, go to 1000, 1500, 2000. Then buff or hand rub with polish.
