The feedback on this topic seems to be as follows:
-Polishing on a buffing wheel
-Bead blasting
-Walnut shell blasting
-Clear Coating
Any other personal experiences on blasting cabinets, compressor sizes or
techniques would be appreciated.
I have read through the archive ideas already.
Thanks to all for the input, Mark
