[QUOTE="69ST, post: 188826, member: 5"] Oh yeah, that'll be a breeze compared to some of the other parts. Flat & convex surfaces play nicely with a sanding block. Some of those tight recesses you'll be able to "cheat" with the buffing wheel. What you see in the photo, the scratches & shallow gouges, those are what dictate the metalfinishing. Had you bead blasted (or worse yet used a more aggressive media) you'd have to level the profiling, over the entire part, caused by media blasting first...then deal with these as-received blemishes. You just saved yourself a huge, needless, task. Best estimate, 2-4 hours to massage this cover into mirror-like splendor...and it may be the most impressive example of your polishing skill on this bike. [/QUOTE]
