I didn't mention it but I am working with aluminium. I went back and tried some more, I believe it is called practice. and noticed that when I went to brown it deposited compound in little holes, then when it heated up it would cut the metal as it was buffed out. So i went back and resanded the piece with 500 and then used scotchbrite till there was no visible imperfections. Did the black, did the brown and it had a better finish and no damage. still not has shinny as I thought. Then when I hit it with the white the shine just jumped out. The finish looks like it was chrome plated. Amazing what a little more sanding will do.
The finish is excellent, but there is still some very small scratches and haze. How can I get it perfect
