    Polishing matte parts?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if there was any way I could polish the stock black matte parts on my MiniMag, such as the rail and vertical ASA, to make them nice and shiny to match my foregrip, I-Frame, and barrel. Any special way to do this or anything specific to use? Thanks alot, everyone.

      If they are matte anodised you cannot polish them to look like a gloss anno job.

      You can strip the anno and polish the raw aluminum and it'll look shiney, but it's not as durable as anno, and the color will fade over time, and it gets smudged easily. If you just want your parts to look shiney I'd suggest stripping them with draino crystals (do a search), then using mother's mag polish to polish em up.

      Theres no easy way to make your parts polished black though.
