Lopaka's DIY Garage (2.0)

[Scarface]

Got to taking some Jordan Mars frames apart. Never going to wear them with old nasty leather and being floppy loose. So may as well use these to get my projects going again. Managed to use a couple of hours after work to clean up the metal some, and even put some small shine on a couple of pieces. This is why I haven't been around earlier this week. Sorry.

Managed to set up a table in my garage to work on one pair. This is just a sandpaper shine. I haven't applied any kind of polish because I want to anodize this pair. Not exactly 100% yet. But getting there.

Absolutely stunning colours mate! Can’t wait to see more!,

Sorry that I'm taking so long. Because of some awesome pairs I've seen with awesome shines, I'm trying to go for the Mega-Superior-#1-Ultra-Ultimate shine. Lol.

Here's close-up photos of the bridge as a tease.

Here's one reason things take a while. I set up my table, but then bring the laptop out so I can get distracted by the Forum. Thanks guys.

Got some Linegear Turquoise lenses from @SEAN WAYNE, and it looked close to the emeralds I'm looking for. So I put together one of the Jordan frames I had taken apart. The rubbers are also Linegear.. Flex couplers, bridge pins, temple screws, and temple washers, are all new and from OXM.parts.

I polished the ear stems, but kept the serial.
