Not to be too picky, but you still have some blue in the cracks.....although this qualifies as a half-ass job for sure. Maybe a notch about that.  |
I used a a very fine wire brush for that slightly brushed alloy look... but I got tired. What you see there is about an hour's worth of work, and it's about 98% done. The remaining two percent that is in the crevices will probably take another hour. It comes off pretty easily though -- and in real life it looks pretty good. Way better than the blue and red - that has bugged me for years now. Once again, RodKnock gets the credit. |
