Since I dont have money for polishing equipment heres what i did. first I took the covers off and ran them over the bench grinder to get rid of the embossed words, then I put them on the wire brush side to strip paint, then i sanded with 150 grit sand paper and a old brake pad in them to keep it level (no sanding block lol) then 2 hours late i moved up to 400 grit, then another hour later i moved up to 1200 grit (all i had lol) then finally i took them to my neighbors and used the grinder with cloth wheel he uses to sharpen his lathe tools lol i need some rubbing compound so they look like mirror instead of chrome.
any advice for polishing for the poor man is appreciated :biggrin:
