Okay, here she is stripped and polished a bit. It's a rough job, to see how it looks, so file marks are still visible, and edges are a bit rough. Keep in mind, working with hand tools and files is difficult...

It really is shinier in real life, but like I said, it's an experiment phase. What I ask you is this: To paint or not to paint? I don't have the money to anno, and paint works fine. Or I could just clean it and polish it better.

If paint, which color(s)? The Duracel scheme just wasn't doing it for me...

But even if I do, the real question would be is $150 or so to anno all the parts worth it for a Spyder I could paint?

And thanks for the input!

i think you should do an all chrome spyder...... shine it up with some mothers mag and a dremels turning wheel, and then clear coat it......itll be hard, and shiny, looks good tho, what did it start out as???

Paint or polish it, getting a Spyder anno'd seems kinda pointless to me.

Meh. On second thought, that would be kind of funky...

I think I'm just gonna polish it and use different color accents, like the front block, frame/grip, reg, drop/rail/asa, feedneck and all that good stuff.

So, uh, which color? I'm thinking black, blue or red. Black would be easiest to get, methinks.
