Re: Restoring Aluminum Bezel?

So I tried out 2000 wet sand and it burned through the finish even though I was going light. I tried to lift the plating off with a heat gun but that didn't work out so well. Looks like I'm either going to get a replacement vaneer or a repo down the road. Mine current set up works but was looking to restore one as an upgrade. Oh well not this year ha. On a side note this aluminum overlays are ultra fine (cheap) and I think the only way to bring back the shine would be to mask everything off and paint it.
