Sanded down my RM2 cap...

[xxbodkinxx]

After Crash Moses said it was a piece of cake I said screw it, lets give it a go. The rm2 had been dropped a few times etc so had minor blemishes anyway. Started with 120 crit, up to a 220 grit finishing sponge. I like the sand marks so I decided to stop there. Heres the pics.. Anyone know where else to get that piece of paper under my mod? I cant seem to keep it around..

This gets the color a little better. Left the base of the rm2 polished for the contrast.

Nice job Monkey it looks really good. Knowing me I would have started at 600 paper. Heck it looks boss with 220.

I'll send you one of those pieces of paper in exchange for that contraption sitting on top of it.

Nice job, Bodkin!

I used an old toothbrush to clean the detrius out of the grooves. The contrast between the brass and the nickel looks great in the right light.

Maybe if you stop thinking of it as paper (it is actually more cloth than paper) it would not run away from you so fast. (At least that is what I was told as a child. Doesn't seem to work well for me though. It still runs away.)

Two of them ran away this morning to Rob... Oh well I can make more. =)

FYI for those of us who dont have an extra 510 connection lying around to throw into a drill you can do what I did. I just took an old drop tip and shoved it in the topcap. then I just put the tip of the driptip into the end of the drill and turned it on. Worked out just finer as long as the driptip fits snugly.
