:lol: I knew Sidi looked familiar... It was very early here when I replied to that... :oops: I will give some solvent a try... :shock: :? Hopefully I don't wreck them...

As said in an earlier post, use abrasive paper but start with a more corse sheet, something like P240 and gradually work up.

Save your well needed arm muscles for other rapid movement activities. :D

Hey,

Thanks for the tip. :) I will see if I can get a corses grit wet/dry paper. Thanks,

Mitch

Hey,

Well I finally got around to getting some coarser sand paper to sand my rearsets. I then used a Mother's Polish to shine things up. Here are some pictures of the finished product:

sweet. Must try that myself :)

I used the carbon look sheeting on the heel plates. I also put some on the top yoke too. Obviously I cut them to shape and they don't look too bad.
The polished one look very nice, but will it last?

Look ok but next time you may wish just to remove the old anodising on the raised parts leaving the silver in between in those hard to get to and polish areas Will look a little more trick if you do it carefully. You could also opt for the drilled look I think I put to many holes in mine I have since seen one done with about 5 in each side but larger wish I had done it that way it’s to late now.
