Does anyone know of someone local you could recommend that can polish stainless to a mirror finish without imperfections?
 
Without imperfections" that is extra... whatcha got?

I have a BSTS Polished Colt 1911 that has a few tiny scratches on the slide from storage I want to polish out the scratches. I also occasionally want stainless revolvers polished.
 
Hand work for sure. MO POWER always helps me screw it up faster. Learned how to do this on carbon steel. Required to perform field hardness tests for fire damaged steel. Comb your hair with it.
 
Not local, but if it were mine I’d send it to Ford’s Custom Refinishing in FL. They are THE shop when it comes to high polish finishes.

You can have it done local, or you can have it done RIGHT.



Have you used them?

Just curious on the price and turn around of your project.

I have a 1911 slide that I would like to get polished at some point.
 
I just got a new phone, so unfortunately I don't have any pictures handy, but I can help you out with that.

I do believe BLIP BLIP had one of my revolvers with a high polish finish on it. I do believe he said something to the effect of he got scared cause he could see his reflection in the side plate. LOL
