Default Re: Help!! Polishing Sandblasted Chrome.

thanks, yeah in the last picture i sanded up to 400.

Im in New Zealand, so i dont know if the polishing compounds go by the same names or grades or whatever, i had a look at the auto shop down the road yesterday and they didnt have any.

and the autosol that i used was one for polishing. ("For Cleaning and Polishing Metals")

i think i might try and find some black emory and use that then finish with some autosol. i really like the satin kind of finish now that i see it. comparing it to the front wheels of my car (which havnt been sand blasted yet) i prefer this satin finish over the original mirror finish. do you think if i stop and emory then go straight to white it will be ok?
