Need stainless polished to mirror finish-ANYONE LOCAL?

[BLIP]

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.

Their "Mirror Finish" use to be 300 bucks... when SS guns had basically the same metallurgy I think even a company as great as Fords has had to rethink "new" SS and the huge variety of materials that are now being produced all over the world.

What was once OK we are covered at 300 is now... "We want to see the gun!"

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 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

Yes Rabbit has done some pretty cool finishes and will not share the formula... However, in my finish quest I thought instead of changing the chemical structure lets just get some Mothers Mag Polish on some Aluminum variants... I am polishing the #@&% out of a Smith 637... It has been my experience that high speed polish and most alloys are a bad combo.

Some agency is holding for me at the moment.

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’ve used them numerous times over a couple of decades. Phenomenal work every time.

I have seena the operation... definitely the peoples knowledge and having grandfathered in the correct way to do refinishing. Check out their website and then go back to their start.

I have used Fords for re-bluing after engraving and it was 4 months to complete. Fantastic results though.

Does anyone know of someone local you could recommend that can polish stainless to a mirror finish without imperfections?
