i polished my ms420 for my ammaco silver star build, i never used spit tho i used 800, 1500, 2000 grit wet and dry. if i'd known spit worked i could have saved some cash on the wet and dry ;D looks nice. quality stems too, underated in my opinion.

Good stuff  :daumenhoch:

Nothing wrong with an MS-422 it's kind of like an industry standard stem for the 80's  :LolLolLolLol:
