'95 Genesis 1000 LX Build - Not a Keeper

[Cody Bratton]

I like the clear coated look myself although I've been going old school on them lately. I think your badge whitened up at least a little bit compared to the one I just finished up.View attachment 111336

I think it’s the reflection of the white walls in the photo. It is also way more white the pic than in person.

This one looked more white in the picture too than in real life.

I’ve thought about using rougher grit paper on them. This one I finished with 80. It was a crappy overcast day today. But I’ll be interested to see it outside.

On the face of the badge? I used 120 and finished with 220.

Finish with fine grit like my craftsman vise restoration

I kinda like the deeper grooves. May screw around with one and finish it with 36 grit

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I keep plenty of 40 grit on up to 3000 grit on hand

Fair enough.

What do you use 3000 grit on?

What do you use 3000 grit on?

Different kinds of metal I want to polish out to look like chrome.

I used to go up to 5000 on restorations we did. I feel like notebook paper would do more. But man what a difference when you do the first cut buff. The dark colors would start to shine when going from 3 to 5.

So, automotive paint?

 

[Cody Bratton]

Yup. I can’t imagine sanding metal with 3000 grit

I’d kill for a good vise like that one. My masterforce is total junk.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I bought it for $20 and sold it for $250.
Maybe I bought it for $40. I think it was 20 though

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I do vintage axes also

Master Force stuff is Menards? Their stuff isn't the best for sure. I think I would rather have harbor freight.

Yeah. Some of it is good. Some is trash

Had to drop my daughter off at the airport at 4 this morning and this manifold has been bothering me since yesterday. So I am back in business!
