At what point should I send you my NMFBM for a similar treatment?![]()
Great work!
Thanks again everybody. A little elbow grease along with Solstice's recipe and I couldn't be happier.
Gerberblades: I used paint stripper for the coating removal. The coating on the BATAC literally was off in about 2-3 minutes. I wish the other two would have worked like it did. The SHBA and NMFBM took about 20 minutes on the first coat and then I cleaned them off and applied a second coat to help with some that the first coat missed. Then I taped off the non-dimpled part of the blades and sandblasted the dimples. Then I sanded starting with 150 grit and ending with 600 grit. Then they were blasted with the glass beads. :thumbup:
