Polished Romeos

[Soulfulfrog]

Post em if you have em or want em even. I think I've done close to 30 of em now... if not more. It's a really nice way to clean up a beater if you like that shinny look as much as I do. Here's a few. What do u have?

Once I got into anodizing it became an obsession with polishing.

Xmetal is the best finish to polish. Later gens being easier. My favorite are the clunky early gen 1s to polish. They just look stellar when they are done. For me when I polish anything. I always spend the time grinding off the casting marks and divots or any imperfections. Then hand sand for hours. Moving up in grit. I then polish them with whatever compound. Then my secret. I anodize and etch the colour off. From there I re-sand and polished again(its quicker the second time). This process for me I've found gives it a rediclous mirror finish. I do that for all the frames I polish. It makes it more consistent all over the frame and I can get every square mm. It's my favorite thing to do custom wise.

Here's mine. Polished are my favourite as you do not need to worry about the finish getting scratched up etc. Super easy to maintain.

Can't stop drooling.

Who wants to polish a first gen X-Metal frame for me?

I know what one of my next projects should be.
