Re: painted upper intake, and polish
Yeah, it looks like you are off to a decent start
! I did a "how to" write up here for the do it yourselfers out there. Just like I predicted, no one has started and completed an intake. As soon as they realize how long it's gonna take, they all cry "uncle"
. It takes me about 60 hours to do one... You wanna be the first
?

Re: painted upper intake, and polish
I polished my upper, spent about 6 hours on it, then decided to call it done. I'll posta pic when I get off my lazy ass(Janeto). It looks pretty good for the time I have in it. Could easily spend another 4 or 5 to make it pro looking. But it's good enuff for me.

Re: painted upper intake, and polish
Polished upper intake over the winter. The hardest part was removing the coating after that a combo wheel will do the trick ( wheel sands and buffs at the same time ). Standard Abrasive makes a wide variety of combo wheels. No web info. I have a few friends in skilled trades.
