    With out the patina and with about 3 hours of 120 sanding. As you can see most of the pitting is gone on one side. I wool probably put Smithee hours of 120-200 grit and then I will start moving up to 400, 600, 800, 1200, and I will probably stop at 1500. I will finish by polishing with blue magic.
