gavinvr6 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 about 70% done me thinks, 1 flap wheel on a drill- 2hours to destroy, 2 wire wheels on a drill 2 hour to destroy, 5 grades of paper (3 sheets of each 120-240-400-600-800) 6 hours to destroy, just to get to this stage, im now on the 800-1200 grit stage and in total ive put about 10 hours into it, ive still got 3 more grades of paper then the electric polishing wheels and various grades of paste come out to play, in total i think 20 hours is a realistic target for final polish, then a lick of paint for the rest of it, big thanks to clarkie the mani was in good nick when i got it off him with no chunks or nasty gauges in it. will put up final shots when its done hopefully by the end of the week if i get a quiet moment at work i can do a bit extra Link to post Share on other sites
