just patience.

Ahh. Something I truly need to practice!

Thanks both @PhilDAS, good words of advice.

EDIT: How fine are we talking, 1000 grit? I was planning to go to 600 and stop tbf as I didnt want it too polished.

Stripped these and then used a green abrasive pad to get the brushed finish. Can’t help you n sanding technique tho, other than to keep the same direction throughout.

Excellent demonstration of the effect.

Great thing about Paul gear is how well it's made... Makes this sort of thing a breeze.

If you have a less expensive bit of kit, stripping it won't always yeild a good base so you'll have to get some elbow grease involved.

I once stripped an aluminium frame only to find that from factory, it was loaded with filler.
