Can't see the pic Nebulus

He's just polishing it all up for an even 'satin(ish)' finish. I'd like to leave it raw metal but may look into trying to get some kind of off the shelf spray lacquer - failing that I'll just probably autosol it now n then. Do't want a clearcoat

Hopefully image and a couple of others fixed now....

I did the same to a Klein frame a little while back wanted the satin finish which I did using fine(ish) sanding blocks, tough to get the grain looking nice on all the tubes though, but I found Autosol just made it a bit too shiny so I bit the bullet and went for mirror finish all over.

Looks great but on an offroad frame its a damn dust and fingerprint magnet still easy to fix after 5mins with some polish, not that I can be bothered to do that after every ride!

The GT polished up much easier, maybe there is some difference in surface finishes between the 7000 and 9000 aluminium used in each frame...
