Yeah, I know I could just buy one. It was more a proof of concept thing, trying to get rid of the as-provided bezels while keeping total flashlight cost to a minimum. A new bezel and laynard ring can easily equal the cost of a host.
And - fine steel wool . . . that's it! Thankuuuuuu, thankyouverymuch.
100 on the orbital to get it down past the valleys so it's flat then, 150 padded sandpaper then, 320 (I think) padded sandpaper to get rid of the tiny lines. oldbook suggested fine steel wool and I think that would be perfect to make it more shiny. Would have to be extremely fine.
Yeah James, those are kinda shallow. It might still work but you'd have to be real careful. Actually, as I look at yours, those are real nice bezels. I think I would either take them down ala jacktheclipper, like about half way or . . . they sorta look awesomw the way they are, especially Mr. Silver.
REALLY like the looks of that ground down & polished SS bezel Foy!! Even better than the new flat SS bezel Solarforce has - I'm not fond of the indents on the inside, and your modded bezel has more depth.
