Mat Smith! Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 yeah sand it to raw metal then either chrome spray or just polish it up with brasso or autosol. Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 sanded it down, when you put brasso on does it take away the scratchs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 sanded it down, when you put brasso on does it take away the scratchs ? To take away all the big scratches you need to be using lighter grade sand paper. Then use wet+dry paper and brasso it,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 or do it with a sander / dremill and it doesnt really have scratches and they come out when you brasso it. Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
