    I noticed when i polished the Aluminum Bottom Bottle Adapter on my mag it left alot of fine lines all over it.
    I didn't do it as thouroughly as my mainbody, but i was wondering if you can get aluminum as shiny (or almost) as stainless?
    Can you get rid of those lines entirely?
    I've been hesitant with polishing my trigger frame and body rail. Thinking of just getting someone to chrome it for me.

    That's a damn fine looking mini Tysonmachado!

      Those lines are just the paint that got deeper into the aluminum taht other spots.just sand some more and it will come off eventually.

        Aluminum is softer than steel so sandpaper will leave more scratches in it. After you get through the anodizing use some fine sandpaper, like 600 grit or finer. Then use rubbing compound (you can buy it at Walmart or any car parts store.) A buffing wheel or dremel polishing tip helps a lot when using the rubbing compound. Once you've got it chrome-shiny use some aluminum polish (also from the car parts store) to keep it shiny.
