Intercooler2 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The Limited I just picked up has a slight abrasion on one of the brushed sides. Any suggestions for buffing/blending it in without hurting the good chrome? I thought maybe a non-abrasive type Scotch-Brite chased with a polish might do the trick?

SouperMan Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’ve had bad luck fixing things on chromed finishes that I’ve given up. I’d leave it; it adds character. Kydex isn’t suppose to mar the “Wonderfinish” but I got faint lines already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Very little success touching up chrome. You got a picture of the abrasion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 I asked the chrome experts APW. They said green Scotch Brite with the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwelhand Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Chrome finish is very thin to start with... don't do it, you will only gonna make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9146gt Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Grey and white Scotch Brite are finer than green. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I did, a buffing wheel with light polishing compound is where I would start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Add me to list of 'don't do it.' Let's see how bad it looks. I have touched up brushed stainless guns with a grey 3M blending pad, but don't know that I'd do that for hard chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Still interested in seeing the severity of the blemish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 I I know at some point in the past I touched one up with similar mark with no problem. It's 6 more days until I get it out of gun jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I wouldn’t do it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Beat the rest of the gun up until it all blends in. Shiny guns aren’t interesting. The well used tools are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
