Finished one!

Thought it would be nice to do a side by side photo for comparison. The main fucker was sanding off the shot-blasted texture... after that the process was relatively painless. I ended up doing 400 grit > 600 > 1000 > 1500 > 2000, then Autosol and kitchen towel.

This was probably 2 1/2 hours work doing it by hand / without machines.

Wow, I'm in admiration of your patience! It looks great. The fact it's not (or doesn't seem to be on the picture) a mirror polish is really cool.

You're right, not a mirror polish.... The main silver bits are the rims and the bottle cages, neither of which are particularly shiny, so no need to go much beyond this point. `

Nothing to do with it being really really boring and hard work of course ; )
