    I spent countless hours sanding and polishing mine.. soo much sanding cylinders and sand paper lol... i eneded up sending it to Josh Vandenberg and he finished it up and i can say i am glad bc i dont think mine wouldnt have been as shiny as his lol..

    Oh and also just a suggestion but imo a good one... sand down those casting bumps completely.. it takes a little longer but trust me it will be worth it
