jake91 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 my mom just had a multi pack in the garage so i used it some were 100 some were 200 i would probably go with a bit higher grit it will take longer but it will probably look better because like i said mine got a little groved up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01GPGT Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 thanks....and thanks for inspiring me to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Not bad. I'd advise using lower grits and moving up to higher grits. Much easier than just starting off with a high grit. To finish it off, I'd definitely go with something like a 1000 grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 i just have one of those drill attatchment stripper things, i hit the tips every once in a while, does the job, occasionally i use some polishing compound and some rags on the drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GPGT Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 pig snouts ftw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 If you really want them to "shine" once you get up around 800 grit you could start to wet sand and move up to 1000 wet and they'd look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94Z34OWNR Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I just took some steel wool and decent wheel cleaner to mine.It makes them looks better and doesnt scratch them up like sandpaper does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
