A little update on the comp cover. I'm overly fed up and impatient with this thing lol. It's officially turned into project good enough. Meaning I'm just going to get it good enough lol the main parts that will be visible will be done good. The rest of the pita areas I'm just getting good enough so I can start on it with a buffer. Not sure if you can tell a difference in the pics but it's getting there. I have at least 12 hours into this thing so far. I'm ready for it to be done lol

When I did mine I started on a bench grinder with a wire wheel brush. I only had a few hrs into it but turned out good I thought. Didn't polish it with a buffer like I should have.

That looks pretty good. I probably should have started on the wire wheel. I definitely have NOT been doing this the most efficient way. Most of mine has been done by hand with sandpaper. I'm on 1500 grit right now then going to 2000. We'll see how it looks after the 2000 grit

Yeah I think I only went to 1500 and stopped. Almost there though

That looks pretty good for only 1500! I'm going to go to 2k then buff the hell out of it lol

Alright I'm done with the comp cover. I just don't have the patience to deal with it anymore. Personally I think it kind of looks like crap. But it could be worse I guess ha. Maybe next winter if I'm feeling ambitious I'll resand it down and do a better job. Or I'll just buy a new comp cover lol

Thanks! You have to see it up close then you can see the areas I could have done better but this will work for now. I might try a little mothers aluminum polish to see if I can get it to shine a little better
