I know there's been a lot of advice on blinging on this forum, I've just found a rather long post on the subject on a different forum, not sure whether it's been mentioned before but here it is. http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/index.php?showtopic=4005471 I found it via HMEM, a guy and his father had made a rather nice flame gulper here: http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=6360.0 people commented on the finish at which point his father revealed himself as the king of bling and referred to the post above. It echos a lot of the stuff bogs and other people have said about polishing. There's a lot of info, it's in a sort of tutorial format with lots of pics to go with it. Nick |

I read all that lot yesterday, and he sure does have a lot to say for himself. I don't know if any of you have seen Ralph's vid. Hardly any words, but you will learn a lot more in a few minutes than that chappie will spout out in hours. Bogs |

I see the video above the wheel is going too slow 600rpm and he's loading it up with too much compound. Here is a good site for newcomers to polishing. http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/buffman.htm I don't mind small thing but the truck gets monotonous. Davo |
