Polishing

If you want super-uber shinyness like chrome then go on up to 600 grit paper, and then 00 steel wool, and then get some mother's aluminum polish at the local Wal-Mart and polish it with that goop on an old washcloth. It will be so bright it'll hurt your eyes!

hee hee, and i thought that i was ready for the polish, bah! here comes the 600 grit , heh, now ive decided (and started) not only my rai, but my foregrip as well

i would go 600, then 1000, then 1500 if you can get it. the higher you go, the shinier it gets, its all up to you. i polished my classic's body w/ 300, 600, and 1500. 4 sheets of each kind of grit, adn it came out looking liek beautiful chrome after a lil stainless steel polish.

I went 400 600 1000 1500 and it is as shiny as the chrome bodys

I agree, go as high as you can with the sandpaper BUT...then go get some "jewlers Rouge" and a buffing wheel.
Yowza!!!

[BajaBoy]

yea go up higher then 600.. i think 1000 is fine and then just buff/polish it out

Theres this special snad paper thats for cars... You wet it and then sand away... Its very fine.

Yea I have some 2000 grit I got at pep boys and that works pretty well.

Can we see pics of these polished guns fellas, cmon!

I used like 200 or so on mine, to give it a different feel so it blended well with the valve and had a, well, different look to it.
