Thank! Yes that a stainless steel bezel and is one of my favorite light for now.

Nice! are these available anywhere?

Tried to Bake my VG-10, Couldn’t get the head to match body and tail. Ended up with hard baked body and tail, stripped and polished the head and 2 rings on the body to blend it a bit.


Buy another one and change the head, it still look good to me the way it is! :smiley:

I have another one… :+1:
Bake & polished will remain as is, I like it. Empty at the moment, but that will change tomorrow. Think this one will go XP-L HI on a FET. Will toy with some triple/quad spacers I have and if I have something I can get to easily work, it will go that route.
Other got an XM-L2 U4 1A on Noctigon and stock driver, bypassed springs.

Looks amazing VW, real smart and love the look :+1:

NEW YEAR ☆ 2017

I wish you, family and BLF a happy new year!

I receive my Astrolux S41S couple days ago I decide to polish, my first stainless steel light polish.

This is the best looking L6 I have ever seen!
Rat style :slight_smile: looks like it was used for 30 years and a little bit rusted and abused. Nice job!

Agreed!

My first try to get a vintage looking light ended like this:

I deanodized the parts with sodium hydroxide and applied oven cleaner after that. Well, the sodium hydroxide completely dissolved the head. Either it was a different alloy or it was just too thin. I will keep on trying.

Yes I agree both look good! :smiley: :smiley:

Thank you!

The same treatment in Odepro B58u.

Lfatman I think I will try this on my Convoy M1 :slight_smile: Thanks for the idea!
