So I was busy in the garage on Sunday and decided to do a very quick sanding and polish of my Anarchist. (Just to be different as I see everyone else Patinas theirs. :--P )

This is what she looked like before I began.

I made 2 holders out of Nylon to squeeze the tube against.

And gave it a couple of coats of clearcoat (cheapie can type)

Left it to dry for a day and polished it up with automotive polish.
And this is the current result.

The sanding and polishing was just a quick thing to do, and I used the cheapie clearcoat just as a temp protector.

Will put a lot more effort into it for the next go. Want to see if I can get a mirror like shine to it in the end.
 
That looks awesome. I wish I had a lathe.
 
Wow, that looks cool... polished copper for the win.....
 
Looks great,im actually looking into clear 26650 battery warps for protecting patinas.
essentially clear heat shrink tube
