Thread: My first rescale....

Hmmm... maybe burgundy acrylic. My problem is I am not sure how well you can sand plastic (as in the resultant finish), and I don't have a buffing wheel, so I can't sand them cus I can't polish them.

I've found that if you use a series of sandpaper, and sand them wet..such as 220 grit, 400, 600, 1000, 2000 , you can get a near mirror -- and then you could take some rubbing compound..or even metal polish and a rag and essentially hand-buff them by quickly pinching the scales inside the rag between your fingers and quickly moving it back and forth with your other hand.

it works, oddly enough -- I have almost gotten just as good results doing that than i have with the buffer.

Go take a look at here It might help you decide on what you might want to do. The source for the scale material is in the thread.
