My 80$ CL Performer

[Ian J]

I just picked up a Performer on craigslist for 80 bucks, Cover included. I like it allot. It fired off on the first push. It does have a little scratching on the stainless. Its not that bad but does anybody know if you can buff or pollish them out?[IMG:top] [/IMG]

C'mon now. Post pics! Don't worry about the scratching. It's just character. War wounds. I have two stainless steel Performers...and will add another if the opportunity presents itself. The new plastic ones are just...crap....to me.

Go to lowes and get the finest steel wool they have. Use it wet and work with the "grain" if you will of the steel.

I tried some super fine steel wool to get out some scratches on the performers stainless. OH Boy! I ran out of elbow grease. I went to 600 then 800 grit wet/dry sand paper, and I used it wet. I went real careful at first on the back side of the lid to see how it would do and it worked great. Definatly, you have go with the grain.

For the record, I was not going for perfection. I just had a few spots that looked like somebody got crazy against the grain with something coarse. I still have some battle scars that I have no problem with.
