Started to do something I have thought about for a long time.
Attempt to make a nice mirror polish on the sides of the
Caspian MKII slide. This is after a few hours to get most of the
matte finish away. I used P80 grid. Next I guess a steady walk
of sanding from 100 - 200 grid. Boy oh boy is it going to fun.
If you're going for a smooth mirror finish, you'll want to gradually work your way up wet sanding with 400, 600, 800 & 1000 grit (possibly even 2000 grit), then apply aluminium polish.
Spending hours hunched over a sink certainly is.......fun?

Looking good so far

Thanks!
My point was: Ask, and it shall be given you... Or... Don't go poking the forum with a stick! Mods have bigger sticks and it can get very weird, very fast!

Keep posting cool gun stuff but don't go asking for trouble :P

BTW what wheels are those in the picture with the Glock?

Darn. I totally was totally wrong about the grit. The paper I used
to begin with was 800 grit...so I guess up to 2k from there. I'll
take it slow - ahue. Thanks!

Aah. I see where you are getting at! Well, to be fair I had a different name on the thread
to begin with, but it got "de-starred" so quickly and that was pretty aggravating so I was
still able to rename the thread again. It's sad that it isn't possible to rename them later
on, would be useful for many reasons. My Hi-Capa thread was also "de-starred" way
down as well without no apparent reason. I would wish these both threads to be edited so
that it isn't possible to rate, since some people are like they are.

The wheel is a custom cut 13" 3 piece wheel for a scooter build.

About the women, well. There are some hidden gems here but they are all taken. The rest
are pretty for the most part, but real *suitcases*. I prefer Asians.

And thank you!

Some pictures showing how the stippling looks like so far. I still have some left to do, but I think it looks pretty decent.

Also I went to a hardware store to check if they had the sandpaper I needed.
Well all I got was 1500 grit and 2000. So What happened was this:
First I took a Bosch "Mouse" sanding machine and got all the old finish off.
Then I used the p280 paper I had and finished off with the 1500 and 2000.
I still haven't decided if I should get some of the grit I missed out on getting.
I wonder why they had such large gaps on their grit numbers.

So far I'm pretty much pleased. Next I'll be getting some of that stuff to get
that mirror finish.














Next up is the G34 build. I'm not sure what lower I should go with to match the slide.
It sort of depends on the light...sometimes it looks like DE and other times it sure
does look like OD. It's confusing and annoying. What do you think?

Finally decided on what frame to use. Green it is. Had trouble
to decide because of the weird light OD color. Also decided that
a colored trigger safety will be distracting so I took the flat black
one and sanded it carefully by first using the Mouse sanding tool
and then cleaned up the round scuffs with 280 paper and finished
off with 1500 and 2000 and lastly I rubbed it with a special fine
aluminum rag(? dunno the name of it in English) that includes
some sort of soap to make it shine. Now it's nice.

Debating on wether to cut the trigger guard on this one or not.
Will need a magwell.
