That looks excellent. What did you use for the bead blasting? I was thinking a combination of glass bead and aluminum oxide.
Got mine today. To be honest, I’m not happy with the finish. Love the design though. A friend of mine is going to bead blast it for me.
Only glass beads 100-200 μ
Polish brand-new stainless steel C8 bezel by convoy.
Left is thorfire c8s, right convoy c8.
I was going to bead blast mine, but after seeing yours I decided to polish it on my buffer with polishing compound. It came out great!
“Yeah” I really like the polish look! 
Swap Thorfire’s improved C8S tail cap onto the Convoy and you’d have my ideal C8. Fantastic work as always, Tim. :+1:
One of these days I might just buy a Thorfire for the tail cap, as silly as that may be.
What type/brand of polish compound do you use?
I built a simple contraption to fit the bezel on a power-drill, but using Brasso hardly made any difference with the original.
I don’t think brasso is abrasive enough. Polishing compound on a cloth wheel using compounds like this
Thank you!
Thank Litefighter! But the thorfire c8s tail cap will not fit convoy c8, it will not screw all the way down. Convoy c8 tail cap fit thorfire c8s.
I use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish from Walmart. I polish a couple times.
I got mine. Putted it on my grey C8 with TA driver, XP-L2 led and lighted tailcap. Full modded 3V emitter C8.
SWEET!
I love the way it looks on the grey C8. Definitely my favorite C8 color with the SS bezel. :+1:
Let me ask you all a question. Well, by “all” I mean all that have already received the new stainless bezel. Do you think the edges are too sharp? I may do a poll about this. Personally I’d like to see the sharp corners knocked off. Not enough to change the look just so that it’s not so sharp in hand or pocket. Simon asked me to get the overall BLF consensus since some people do like sharp corners. Please comment if you already have one.
I like the sharp corners . If I don’t want the sharp corners then i’ll put the old bezel on it.
I like it with sharp edges. IMO it is not so sharp that it could be a problem.
I also like the bezel just as it is now :+1:
Interesting. That’s not quite what I expected to hear. It looks like I may be in the minority here. 
I don’t like the sharp edges. Will try smooth them off with a diamond file, or just put the original one back.
