Since I like to have at least 2 of everything, just picked up some fogs that need refinishing. Rear shells appear to have been media blasted (not sure which media, but they have a crystaline finish). Lenses & seals are brand new & with proper re-finishing of the shells will be better than my orig's.
Questions are: ( & I don't want to remove my orig's to gat the answers - lazy!) Outer rear shells - satin, glossy? Inside of rear shells - same, if they were finished at all. Other - the outer front sealing rings appear to be painted brass! Can that be, or is it a cad plaiting under the paint? Attached image(s)

I believe the paint finish is glossy.
The rings are brass. |

QUOTE(davep @ Jul 24 2006, 01:30 PM)  I believe the paint finish is glossy. The rings are brass. Yep, the rings look like brass & I'm not worried about them - they'll be easy to refinish. The bodies are a bit of a problem. The PO appears to have had them media blasted, which took off all the paint & left a grainy finish. I can get rid of the grainy finish, but want to certain whether to use a gloss or satin finish. I don't need these things, but someone else will & I'd like to present them properly. Any other comments? |
