Hi guys.

 

 

Just want to share some pictures of my work. I will be updating the tread with more posts with more before and after pics as i polish more cases.

 

 

did this for a forum member on RWI.

 

 

 

 

=====BEFORE=====

 

this one by far NEEDED to be polished. it looked almost dead.

 

 

came in looking like coal.

It's not in the forum and it's very very easy to fuck it up.
