Sorry I can't help on how to get a grain finish but the frame looks great as it is  :daumenhoch:
Ash is the SE man - drop him a pm.

Yeah it looks good as it is, not keen on the decals...... They look too dark to me

leehunt1:
1000 or 1200 wet and dry

use water and fairy liquid

carefully run the paper up and down in the direction you want the brushed finish

do a test first on a bit, under the BB or something

is it bare metal now..? or lacquered ?
