What polish and laquer for bare metal?

looks good, want a beater done like this, so not bothered about high quality finish

i wouldn't bother with the brake hole

1. clearly a road bike with those dropouts
   
2. can see where you've taken off the cable guides
   
   

you going to polish now or leave it?

I may be getting help on putting in track ends, so possibly those drop outs will be gone.
And ofcourse you're gonna see where i took off the cable braze ons as they leave welding patches (not bothered about that).

Yes, i will polish it (havent bought the polish yet).

@jamesey: cheers, ill definitely inform on "what and how"
