Well, i just want to share some picture's with you people and in the end the end result of my polishing job on my PGL-III-C-473.

First results in :)

Stripping it down, both paint and inside :tinfoil:
Next is to give it a ultrasonic bath..

I think the end result will be awesome :)

Ofcourse this is just a start, and it needs allot of love and attention :)
I hope it will work out for me, for you to enjoy and maybe once sell.

I'm sure having a blast doing this, it makes me get my mind of things.

Gone do some changes on the inside aswell..


Cheers, Sm..

was this anodized? what did you use to strip it I have always used draino but I am looking for a better way. Also how good do those ultrasonic cleaners work, will it remove the paint thats hard to get off in areas that a knurled or like the rings around the pgl head? They are fairly cheap and I might be interested in getting one. After I polish something everytime i touch it my hand turns black i am hoping that might also take care of that.
