Is this what it's suppose to look like after I spray the Aircraft Remover on?





The stuff



I highest grit of sandpaper that I found in my garage had was 320

After some sanding and one small coat of polish only on one part of the valve cover...



Also if I put more polish on does it get shinnier?

Get you a buffer wheel and a dremel, it is gonna be a pain in the *** if ya don't have one. A drill with an adapter might work also.

 

use thinner sandpaper then polish.. itll get really shiny

 

2000 grit or something close to that

 

man, just sandblast it! it would be much easier that way!

Oh ite, the finest I had was 320 . What do you think about starting off with 400 and work my way up to about 1000. Maybe 2000 or somewhere in between. How much does it cost? Would just Home Depot or something have it?

 

 

well smoothen it out by the 320 grit then use around 800 grit or something to take out the small lines and what not then use 1500 or 2000 grit or pick.. it will be like a mirror

 

yeah you have to go in stages.. starting out with roughest grit all the way down to the finest grit.. then wetsand.. then polish

 

or you could just simply sand blast it! haha

Wetsanding is where you get the sand paper wet. Just get a bucket of room-temp water (so you dont freeze your hand) and soak the sand paper in there so it get nice and wet, sand with it wet and keep the sand paper wet (keep dipping it in the water). hope this helps, good luck with the project. Oh, and sand paper is cheap, you can get it just about anywhere, yes, Home Depot should have sand paper.

Sweet, thanks for the help.

Hopefully it will turn out blinging

 

BTW, B18a valve covers freakin suck. Sooo many little spots that are hard as hell to sand down Oh well, just a practice valve cover anyways
