This is long overdue.. thanks Jay and Sara!
The SUN GOLD is a winner for me and is a great match to those who like bronze and/or brass.
Part of me wants my super mini to be unique but this is just too cool not to share.
I am already thinking of my next order as a backup to this already handy and great looking mod.
If only I could powdercoat my car this color : )

Your very welcome. The best part is for me is when I get to see these pics. I like to check out the different set ups.

Mine is black chrome ends , polished everything else. I polish my attys on the wheel so they shine as well.

Excellent idea on polishing the attie to whatever finish you desire : )
Dang I learn new trix every day.

Jewelers rouge is all you need to make them bling. I use a dry wheel at the end to put on a high polish shine. here's a pic of my set up if anybody is unclear about whats being used to polish. You can also use a dremel grinder with polishing wheel attachment. I polish 4-5 of them at a time so their ready to go. Btw this is how I polish GLVs when they come back for repaint...makes them look new.

Any excuse is a good excuse to get more tools in the shop : ) I've been getting by with a small belt grinder but the felt wheel is definitely better for blingage. I totally regret snoozing on the GLV mini deal on the classies. Would have been a cool project to practice finishing that one up.

Thanks for letting us peek into your bag of tricks.
