So I F'd up my polished lip!! Then fixed it!

I even amaze my self sometimes! I curbed it at tim, two weeks before HIN Buff. and knew that it wasnt deep and did some research. Figured if i f'd it up i would just send them to ISS Forged. First i got a dremmel and got a alum. oxide bit #923, some sandpaper 220 400 1500 and 2000. Then a steel wool pad to the wheel and a bunch of polish.

You got lucky that it's straight up gangsta aluminum and no finish of any kind on it.

You could easily smooth out the rash this way but you would need to paint them to get them to look the same.
