Removing bead blast from light.

[ploink]

Anyone ever try this? What was your method ?

Thanks! Considering removing a titanium bead blast.

I use a Scotch bright pad (gray, equivalent to 000 steel wool) and 2000 grit sandpaper to Polish. Gives a beautiful slightly brushed look that feels smooth.

Do you recommend that over a dremel felt tip with metal polish?

Might take another pass yet but pretty happy with it so far considering I've never polished anything or used a dremel before.

Nice job! Sorry, your solution is nice. I wanted a light brushed finish with smooth feel.

I like the brushed look. But all my other stuff for my EDC is like a low shine like this. Cheers for the suggestion. It did give me a little courage that I wasn't going to mess up my light!

Exactly what I do after bead blasting a light when I want a brushed finish.

Oh wow! Cool! It's neat that we ended up doing the same thing.
