    Default I polished ONE GSR BLADE check it out

    These picts have been taken with a VGA camera. i digital camera died so blame the quality of the pict. lol this is the first of the four blades i'm doing. shows that i stripped them, sanded them(pict 4), and then the final product. "HOT WHEELS, BEAT THAT!" lol

    to be honest, five hours hahaha i think. i hadda came back to sanding it with 150 and 220 with the machine to get most of the nicks and scars out. then 220 again, 400, 600,800,1000,1500,and 2000.. then buffed it... i know i could've skipped those steps but IMO if i skip, i'll just scrape harder... first one, so now i know what to do with the other three. me and my friend did my SI's... but these will be credited to me unless i ask him for some help sanding. it's tedious work. this will be my LAST SET to polish
