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... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

| Just shine it up until you get enough money for an anno. |

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! ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

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. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

That chameleon paint looks pretty good. The only thing about not paying for the powder-coat or the anno is that you'll end up touching up the paint more often. If money is an issue right now, I'd buff it up like the guys previously said. ------------- Ride it like you stole it... |

| Nice job on the mill. I was going to do almost the exact same thing but I decided to leave the body alone. All I want for mine is an electro grip and a front reg setup. I should be able to do it for around 50.00 if I buy right. Can't really pinpoint my desire to upgrade this thing. |
