Thank you i am thinking if i should make my next laser build shiny or keep it black. What do you guys like?

 

[Photonz]

well i personally like shiny hosts and i think quite a few members would agree with me

 

[Antharak]

Well considering that you were able to polish it and not wash out any lines, I would have to say shiny.
Outstanding work.

Thank you so did i do good for a first polish? And what do you mean by wash out lines?

You did a very good job.
What I'm referring to when I say "washed out lines", is that all the machining is still crisp, I've seen a lot of polish jobs ware the corners, knurling, etc.; are gone and the piece looks it went through a rock tumbler.

Oh i see thanks!

incase your wondering this is what a C6 looks polished http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/fs-polished-c6-host-82582.html.

also in the knuckling of the handle on yours did you have trouble getting that cleaned or is there still some anodizing in there? it looks dark in the groves.

 

[Pyro Man]

No that is not the anodizing thats the polish still sitting in there i just got that out today so it looks supa good now. Did you have any issues with the anodizing?
And your lighting in the c6 host pictures are a little bad.

 

[awillis2589]

No problem with the anodizing just with the polish sticking in the groves so I used a soft toothbrush and it came right off.

And yeah my first couple pictures where taken in poor lighting but if you scroll down there where a couple I took outside that look better.
