After buying 2 gtr bovs I decided to try and clean one up as it didnt matter if i screwed it up, I only use one. Using various grades of sandpaper, and then spraying the top matt black it came up very nice.

heres a pic. you can see what it used to look like.

ahh my threads been hi-jacked. lol

For the bov, I took it all back with 120 i think it was, then used about 400 and 600 to finish it, i had 1200 too but it did bugger all, probably would have polished up nicely with 1200 but lots of effort..
