I was grey all over my face and hands!.. thought I'd attempt this mod as it is far too easy to slap on some paint and wanted to stand out just a little bit...

(off main power) no battery..*sand down all the rough casting to a semi smooth surface..*then start with 80 grit sand paper for 10 mins.. then 120/200/400/800/1000/1500/2000/2500 then autosol polish...
