    Re: brushed aluminum trim

    still working on them, have a lot of sanding to do yet and some polishing. Still unsure if I will clear them to give them more of a shine.

    it's easy. Just look at the Bentley and take your time. There isn't anything that you can really break.......

    Re: brushed aluminum trim

    Camera makes it look streaky. Much better in person. The couple that show the dash and door were before the door trim was done.

    if you want more shine, just sand with finer sand paper and polish? no need to clear

    Re: brushed aluminum trim

    Clear may lose some of the shine but it will protect the aluminum. If you polish the aluminum and then coat it with gloss clear and wet sand that to a shine it would be beautiful. A lot more work too though.

    Re: brushed aluminum trim

    I thought about doing this but I always thought it would look more executive vs sporty in a brown/tan interior.. and after seeing this thread (and the brown/tan b6 in the linked thread) I think I'm still right. Looks good in black though.
