i actually ordered some polish from their site on wednesday. im gonna finish with the Curator's Choice Ultra Fine Polish that the guy in that article you just linked. i went a little further than him on the sanding though, i went all the way up to 2500 grit. dang smooth

are you doing it by hand or with a rotary buffer? i'd love to see a mirror finish inside... inside AND out would be outstanding! biggrin.gif

more work obviously, but would look like some sort of magical box after!

I never really liked the look of Lian Li cases from the pictures. An all round mirror finish kinda thing would be cool though. I'd probly buy one to do something like that

i stripped all the paint with a random orbit sander, used grits 100, 220 and 320. then i wetsanded by hand, used grits 600, 1000, 1500 and 2500. i used that turtle wax rubbing compound and that cleaned it up quite a bit as soon as my english custom polish comes in it should be a perfect mirror. that i will be doing by hand also. next best thing to getting it chromed. and way less expensive.
