| no way century,yes it would be shiny,but the vibrator would also polish the critical bearing surfaces and could leave a sloppy fit. All you need is 400 600 800 1000 grit paper a heavy cotton diaper and semichrome or maas metal polish.I do also have access to an industrial polisher,looks like a big grinder with cotton wheels on each end.The wheel will make very fast work of it using red rouge,but you have to have a definate feel for it or you can screw your piece very easily.To get into the smaller convex curves just use the polishing wheel on a dremel lightly loaded with dremel polishing compound.For the flat areas always use a piece of glass,this insures a perfectly true part and a drop dead finish.
OK I still have the metal and plastic mixing arms in the origonal finish.Took all of 10 minutes including stopping to take pics.Ill try and make a vid for the other side if you all want me to. john

400 grit

600 grit

800 grit

1000 grit

final polish add a small amount of semichrome to your diaper and rubbing briskly keeping the diaper flat on the table.the rag will turn very black just go to a clean spot and rub until the black is gone.when you look at it this is what you will now have,and if you used the glass and were careful it will be dead true.Enjoy
