No to black. My slips used to be black and they looked really bad.

We shall see, I just bought a new dremel to help with the left over paint that aircraft stripper couldn't get off. So hopefully they will be fully polished soon!

Yeah my blades are polished, ended at what appears to be 2k grit as well, got some mothers mag polish to make them shine & put (2) 195/50's on the rear & (2) 175/55's on the front because the tire ratios are basically the same with 0.4% difference between the 2.

After applying 3 quick coats of Mother Polish to my blades, I've cone to figure out that my blades are Mirror Polished:
