Had a bit of spare time yesterday so decided to have a go at polishing my cam cover,,
Started with a good shot blasting, then painted it fresh silver/grey
then got the da out and hit the top section with 320 grit, then 400 to 600 to 800 to 1000 to 1200 to 1500 then 2000 grit, time consuming stuff lol
Then out with the polishing wheel and wax, first, the first stage wax and a good going over followed with the finishing wax stick and a final run over.
Think it turned out ok, then a mate had the idea of etching williams on the top of it,
The finished product :lol:
I dont think it turned out too bad for a first time attempt
