D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[D.K]

Wet and dry
200, 400, 800, 1000, and maybe 1200 grade and lots of elbow grease

 

[B3LSY]

why so many?

 

[D.K]

you might be able to start with the 800.
You need to sand out the scratch's, each stage will leave smaller scratch's by the time you get to the last stage you wont be able to see them, also by useing them wet it will polish the metal.

 

[B3LSY]

were do i get the sand paper from?

 

[D.K]

Most good car shops should sell it, Although i think Halford's will only sell it in multi packs.
The grade is printed on the back of the paper.
It's about 20p per sheet.

 

[B3LSY]

how many sheets did you get threw?

 

[D.K]

So far on the pipe i'v used 2 of each, but the manifold is a lot smaller.
It might also be a softer metal so it might be easier to polish.
