Sandblasted or Polished?

[Padayon8]

Hi Guys! I’m new to Oakley and I found XMetal my choice of collection and I want to hear your opinions guys.

I got this Juliet Hammerhead Polished with a JG serial number and it badly needs overhaul and have lots of scratches. Should I have it sandblasted or retain to its serial’s model?

I would say refinish it on your own. A bit of chrome polish from Amazon or your local auto body shop and some fine grit steel wool. I'd recommend the 0000 grade. With a little patience and elbow grease, you'll be good to go. Also, the time spent restoring your frames on your own will add that personal connection to them.

Thanks bro for the great advice!

Agreed with @SecretNinja...if you can do it...do it yourself...
It looks to need a nosebridge tunning too...
Great Juliet!!!The best one!!!

Go with polished. Next step is anodizing. And only because I don't have a blast box. Yet.

Blast it to X-Metal.

Hammerstem and X-Metal finish will make it look like an XX.

Sandblaster makes nano holes, polish is the best with a lot of work….
