Title: How to remove scratches on coin trim / bezel? Post by: BryanH on May 11, 2005, 11:20:21 pm Should I be able to buff these scratches out or do I need to do something else? Either way - what's the recommended process?

Title: How to remove scratches on coin trim / bezel? Post by: BryanH on August 20, 2005, 12:50:20 pm I finally bought a buffer/polisher, for paint finishing, but was wondering if it was worth giving it a try on the bezel? If so, any recommendations on the type of pad and compound?
If it doesn't work, I'll pack it off to a pro, but wouldn't mind trying it myself if you guys think it might work. Title: How to remove scratches on coin trim / bezel? Post by: Jim on August 20, 2005, 03:29:14 pm Bryan,
Attempting to polish small parts with a portable grinder/polisher could be dangerous! I recommend a bench motor with a polishing wheel. Title: How to remove scratches on coin trim / bezel?
