Re: How to polish internals

using a dremmel is actually fine.. Just don't go nuts. I used a dremmel on all my guns with no issue. Took about 1 minute per gun really.

Re: How to polish internals

Re: How to polish internals

I would be very carful about using sanding tips. the cotton and difrent types of polishing componds would be the best. I just polished up a buddies 98c with a dremel all I used was the cotton tip with 3 difrent polishers. (I used the brillo method first to knock down the major paint first I used the dremel to make it shine.)

Re: How to polish internals

just did the brillo method took 25 min and she is nice and smooth. it is a def required modto perform. less friction means better performance, i used wd-40 def take a few min per half alot of gunk hiding in the internals.

Re: How to polish internals

What about the cyclone feed arm? It comes off of the body of the gun, into the cyclone feed, and it guides the balls into the gun. Mine is coated in paint. Should I polish it? (a quick response would be nice, since i'm polishing it right now

EDIT: Nevermind. I just finished polishing!! Hooray! I decided to smooth the feed arm, rather than polish the paint off.

Re: How to polish internals

I used my Dremel with a Stainless Steel Polishing Brush. It worked fine, but in tight areas I used some brillo to finish up. Great tips fellas!
