Seat resto. Pleeeeese help.

(1/4) > >>

PRO THUNDER:
I know this topic has been covered before, but i'm starting to panic and think I might have balls up this good condition Elina Flyte-Tech seat. I bought it a while back and have finally got all the parts I need to build a 1983 Huffy Pro Lightning. When I got the seat it had some scratching to the front nose part, so I descrided to get some fine wet n dry paper and gently sand down the scratching. Then panic started to set in as I tried to get some sort of shine back into the nose. As you can see from the pic below, this is what it looks like now. It is nice and smooth but it is still this matt grey finish.  Any help would be greatly appreciative.

T Cut and loads of elbow grease should do you fine Lee, What grade wet n dry did you use? :daumenhoch:

PRO THUNDER:
Cheers Deeman. I'll give it a shot. :daumenhoch:    The only info on the rear of the paper is 3M 733   P360   OG4

factory pilot:
I did the same to my shotgun 1 ... Don't panic you need a buffer on the end of a drill if possible and the correct polish ( the name escapes me ) .. It will come good mate.
Can anyone help with the name of the correct polish ?

Looks like your paper was 360 grit. You should go up through the grades 100-150 at a time to at least 1200 before you try and t-cut  :daumenhoch:
