Right here we go!
Today's job was the frame like i said earlier.
Firstly started with the abrasive compound again like everything else and this is what it looks like, not overly good looking yet, you will definitely wonder while you're doing this why you're bothering!




Then after that was the wet and dry for fiddly bits and then another few stages of grinding and then the polishing.

I've only done one side and it's not completely finished but you get the general idea hopefully.
What do you all think?
