Here she is with scales. I thought these scales would look good on her.
Yes, there is some stains. I'm happy with the results and I might in the future try to remove them. However, the sanding didn't seem to remove it very easily.
Also, can anyone tell me what they think the grind is? It appears to be ¼ or ½ hollow.
Scales: Dovo stainless steel - satin finish. Sold with hole pre-drilled.
Pin: Micro Fasteners
As always, input is always welcome.

Thanked: 125I have been using the same buffing wheels for a W&B restore. Couple of questions for ya':
How much pressure did you use on each of the wheels?
After the Purple (380 grit) where did you go? Buffing wheels, higher grit sandpaper, etc...?
How long did the wheels last you?
Excellent restore, BTW.

For each of the wheels I used minimal pressure. Just enough to feel a slight tension and I can see the change.
When I using the tan wheel it wasn't removing any of the stains thus there was no reason to apply more pressure and I simply moved up in progression to gray then purple.
For the buffing wheel, I didn't use one. I wasn't after the polished appearance for my first restore. I simply added the polishing compound and rubbed it in by hand and it gave it a nice enough look.
However, I was told that if I used the buffing wheel it would have polished up nicely and most likely removed the stains.

Thanked: 125How much time did you spend on each wheel?

I spent about 5 - 10 minutes per wheel. It really depended on the look I was after. However, I did spend the most time on the purple wheel and slowly eased of the pressure with each pass to achieve a nicer look.
