Burnishing pictures

[sam bennett]

Thanks Ted. I was just in PHX and almost had enough time to come down to visit you, but got rerouted. 

Over the years I've got some questions about creating a more realistic finish for the show engines. I tend to go too far with the burnishing and need to work on something that looks more fresh cast. Blasting looks like crap and doesn't hold up well to use. It's just a matter of time in the tank. The next MC block I get I'll demonstrate with a time lapsed photos. I want to make sure I can duplicate the original cast finish for the guys that want it. 

Since it's been awhile since I posted pics. Here is a K78 (non TT) I did for myself recently. By far the dirtiest IAME engine I've seen on the outside. Inside was a GEM!
