Tidied the coners of my reo

[SLIPPY_EEL]

My Reo has had a lot of abuse in it's short life and has gathered a few paint chips on the sharp corner's so I took some pic's to show what i've done to tidy it up.

this first pic is of before..






I don't know if anyone has done it before but I think it looks great and breaks ups the whole look, especially with it being a dark reo.
The pictures don't really do it justice as they are zoomed in and pick up on all the little imperfections

nice job slippy! Im glad I am not the only one who takes some sandpaper to their REO.

Speaking of, I'm playing around with the new to me Woodville I just swapped for, trying to make it as pretty as possible. It's an unfinished Jatoba and it's a little rough around the curved parts on the back, even though I've treated it with oil/beeswax a few times now. Does anyone know what grit sandpaper I can use on it without causing any damage? I just bought some 400 but I am scared that that's too rough.

Very nicely done. I may have to take some sandpaper to one of my Reo's and dress it up a bit.

 

[sllanham]

That looks snazzy. Nice job.

400 should be fine. I sanded 3 using 320 then 600. After the 320 they looked real good.
Use the 400 on it. If it is not smooth enough you can always get some finer.

Shelley, 400 grit is not too rough. On the contrary, it's very fine mainly used to level out finishes. I'm not sure what you need to do, but if you're sanding wood, it will have the effect of burnishing and closing the pores of the wood. If you have rough open pores on the ends of the Reo, it will, with some work make it very smooth. Then you can apply oil or wax.

Cool looking! I like how it accents the edges and breaks up the dark fields. Nice job!

I saw this done a long time ago on a Original Black Mini (14500) looked nice then and still is a sharp look IMO.

Yeah, I concur. Looks good. Something to remember for down the road.

You shoould get a wide bore drip tip for that.

Yup, get a Folgers or Maxwell House brand drip tip, those even have built in heatsinks in their metal line of DT's

Could use it as a Japanese import exhaust in a pinch too.

Is that the original chrome on the RM2? The whole setup looks really sharp, nice job.

 

[redeyedancer]

I always like the look it has been done looks great

 

[RattlerX]

That is really sharp looking.

 

[Jugband]

Looks great! I'll have to remember this tip!

Ceramic paint is good for other dents/dings, like the ones my black grand has suffered which are always corners being damaged, usually from drops.

Thank's all... it's nice to know so many people like what i've done... it make's the vape taste even better

Yes it's the original chrome, i haven't altered anything there. Picture's taken outside in real light make a big difference, i did also over squonk and clean the cap before the pic's, so i don't know if that made it shine
