Before and After

[newplague]

Well, I'm finished sanding the anodizing off my "vintage" Grand. Ol' Bluey ain't blue anymore. What do you think?

Nice

However I am a little biased as I own a raw Reo.

I love the way it feels now, all silky and stuff. This was done with 400. I'm not sure if I'm going to go any higher then that.

Good as new, I like it. Biased in the same way as FB.

Looks good. Get some Mother's Mag and polish. It will really make it like a mirror!

Never Dull is good for keeping a shine too!.

Nice way to refresh an old reo.

 

[dreamreaper]

That looks great newplague!!

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Nice work. One raw should be in every reo collection

This is the only Reo I have. I jumped on the wagon before this magic porcupine dust was added.

I just got my raw tumbled grand, and went to town on it with some mother's... it was pretty and shiny, but picked up fingerprints just from looking at it from across the room. I found that a scotchbrite pad gave it a nice satin/brushed look that no longer prints up and has a nice even, machined 'grain' to it without feeling rough.

Pictures please.

I'm going to try for a woodvil 18650 and then a TRA LP when the sub kit comes out.

Looks great! My raw started out as a red, but was sandblasted. The blasted finish is really sweet, no polishing!!
