As far as the polishing goes, it all starts with sanding down the rough cast. I started my pump with a bead blast to get all the primer off. The it was a series of wire wheels on the drill. Start with a coarse then medium, then fine. Then you begin to hand sand with about a 220. Then 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1600. Then if you have fingers left, you go to the buffing wheel. Start with the orange wheel and the brown bar, then green wheel/ green bar, then white wheel/ white bar. Then finally you get to put the final hand polish on. And you continue to polish for the life of the piece. After all is said and done, you really wonder if all that crap was worth doing it yourself.
