I know that David does not recommend doing this(Satin to Polished) due to the wall thiness where the threads are...

Yeah, I was talking more in general terms. The P+s are a much simpler design so stripping the satin and refinishing them is not a problem. The intricate design of the ELA would definitely make it difficult, but I'm sure that it's possible....just not recommended.

Here are some Hi-res finish pictures. The two units were not spruced up in any way, daily use photos warts and all. The ShockWave is two weeks old, the P+ well over a year old.

Thanks snork!
Guess i made the right choice, cause i definitely love the more shiny (polished...) finnish.

You're welcome. I just learned something too - if you hover your cursor over the upper right corner of the imgur picture and click the popup you can view the full-res version. They're enormous!

My P+500 is in my post office right now... waiting for a break to swoop down there.
Yay, just got my Precise Plus 18650 in the mail. This will hold me over until my ELA is built and shipped.:thumbup:

I have to check my ELA order/s ... re; 1 polished and 1 satin...
Got 5 AW IMR 500 (18490) last week... AW IMR 18650's are limited orders (at the time anyway)

Can't wait to hear about SuperT rba's... :) :) :)

I still haven't ordered any rings yet... at a loss to figure that out...

It worked, good close-ups....
The ShockWave is two weeks old, the P+ well over a year old.
The pics shows how well the 1 year old Satin finish has held up....the 2 week old Polished finish already shows some scratchs...

Yeah, such is life. Today it took its first really good fall, about shoulder height onto a linoleum floor. A very satisfying THWACK! Flat on the side belly flop. No damage.
