I used sandpaper on mine:)

Started with 180 grit then 220 grit then 400 grit then lots of polishing with ALU or Autosol polish that I bought to polish the bare aluminium on my Harley.

Still got some machining marks around the logo but can't get those out as I want to keep the logo.

I polish it on the weekend and let it mellow through the week;)

Sorry about the poor shots... used my phone.

Guys I agree about the sandpaper but I am talking about logo that it will get lost. The sand paper is much worse that the other polishing method.

The engraving is about 0,05mm deep. I will try to do it 0,2mm deep so I will make the depth x4. That means that it will be 4 times more "strong"

I would use the polishing wheel at my shop. We use rouge and a high speed cotton wheel. No sand paper required. And My GG Tele doesn't have any engraving on it... ha ha ...

But I think Crash already polished it for me... so I will just bring it to a mirror. Will post pix when done.. If I even do it.... Might just use Mothers on it.

Imeo,

The Grants you are making right now, are they made with 7075 aluminum?

Wow that is some hard aluminum. Aircraft quality stuff there. Good to know. Is the GG Tele I am getting made of the same?

No vanp, GGTS was not made by 7075 aluminium. I will now start to make them like this. All new Trans and Slim (exept Grant) will be made by aluminium 7075. Its harder than some steels, has the best quality, its very expensive and its shiny itself.:)

Oh, i think the GGTelescope is the first model like this kind...?

What other GGTelescope do you have...?

Is it like the GGTelescope we can see at youtube... from 09-18-2009?

Hio my friend chuck,

The telescope that I will make is what you see in my videos on 4-10-09. The 18-9-09 video was the first one before the updates.:)

May " I am getting " is the same like " i will get "

Hiya Chuck,
I hope we're not that frightening - no intention of hurting you...:)
We're used to all kinds of English here, so no worries.

Yes, Vapn bought a prototype model TS from Crash - the first ever one and Imeo has made changes to the production model since then.

As Imeo said, the actual production models will look like the one in his videos from 4th October.

Ok Lisaf01,

i think you did understand me so the other will do...

thank you for your help so i think that i did understand vapnaway right!

may imeo will sell the prototype from the 9-18-2009 video to me, because i like the most little modulation of the Telescope without all features only with the one 16340 batterie! But i will hope that it will be the same modulation is a possibility at the new type of GG Telescope...? I didn't see this modulation on the video from 10-4-2009! I like the very little kind of looking like a little edge...:rolleyes: Imeo- do you hear me:)

Many greetings from Germany to all of you!

We are not mean here. My storm cloud is just steam. There is a lot of steam because I have a GG. :hubba::thumb:
