Custom Made Motor Plate

Ermm, fine grit...

I have aluminium oxide sandpaper that gets the metal pretty smooth, then something like 400, and finally 800 grit should do the trick, before using 000grit steel wool and the mothers polish. I havent actually practiced getting a really good finish, but I have been reading up on it & asking questions to those who do- Candyman (search for 'maxxbling') does beautiful things with aluminium, leanrt a fair bit. A polishing wheel on the dremel with the mothers would be great too for all the tight spots and curves.

If your trying to mirror polish then procede on down the line to 1000, 1500 and lastly 2000 grit automotive paper... On a flat plate like that it would be easy to polish to a mirror shine... Wrap the paper around a block and wet sand with the higher grit papers with a back and forth motion... 10 minutes, some elbow grease and a good final buff with Mothers and a quality microfiber towel wrapped around the block (again back and forth) and you'll have a finish worth the shades !
