I'M BLIND! ! ! ! I'M BLIND! ! ! IT'S TOO BRIGHT! ! ! !

No more hiding in the dark for you apparently....

Slick looking job and a huge improvement over the worn and patch look in the first few photos.

Nice handiwork Druid. Did you put anything on it after polishing it?

kutulu · 12-10-2006, 08:34 PM

Try not to breathe so hard, you're fogging up the lens

druid · 12-10-2006, 08:44 PM

lmao.....thanks. No, I didn't put anything on her yet...there are still a few spots I need to work on here and there but the bulk of the grime and paint is gone now. Once I'm done though, I'll be putting a coat of Turtle Wax on her (or something similar). I just wanted to see what the concensus was. Oh, and now I can read the serial number...it's I-072199 and it's a P-Series. I don't know if I want to leave her like this or "Punish" her.....lol.

FWIW I've had great luck on polished aluminium bicycle parts with Eagle brand Wet One car wax. It has a very, very light polishing agent in it that'll remove just a hair of metal (the aluminium made the cloth go black) but it comes out super nice with no noticable swirl marks like I've had with past products. The bicycle parts I did with it shed the winter rains for a good two seasons of Pacific North"WET" winters so that's high praise indeed. But as always whatever you use be sure to test in an inconspicuous spot first.

really, really, nice job there. i like it.

thanks. She still shoots like the day she was made. I might send her to PPS for a detent and tune up but I'm working on another deal right now for something I've been wanting for 17 years...muhahahahaha!!
