My next Reo?

[oplholik]

Thinking about another Grand, and would like to get a Raw body and a black wrinkle door. On the body, I'd like to give it a brushed look. Could that be done by hand sanding with wet/dry emery paper, about 2000 grit? Then I think I'd like to give it a light polish with some good metal polish. Whattya think?

I just traded for this.

Looks similar to what you're describing. I'll receive it tomorrow and post more pics.

That's the one I was looking at yesterday that gave me the idea. I think it really looks sweet. Congrats on getting that one.

I've seen it done before...but I believe the polish happens first, then brushing. I'm looking for the thread with instructions now.

Hummmm brushed that's an idea. I have a few plans for a TRA just need to get one. And then it's time to play.

Thanks. Timing and luck. Had what he wanted for a trade and saw it at the right time.

Okay...I can't find a thread on it, but found an old post. Perhaps if you PM Dan, he can tell you how he did it. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/293286-reo-lounge-part-ii-2113.html#post7493899

The link doesn't go anywhere, for me anyway.

Sorry about that...here you go.

Just finished a REO project for a friend. I gave this aluminum mini a brushed finish. Whatcha think? View attachment 142371View attachment 142372

Much easier than polishing. And no fingerprints.
