Yet another titanium finish question
http://forums.roadbikereview.com/bik...ti-241064.html
Reply #12 in this thread seems to be from a Lynskey employee and discusses using 2" x 10" 7440 Scotch Brite strips to create a brushed finish. Could that be applied to a polished Legend finish to convert it to brushed? The reason would be that the brushed finish would show imperfections less than polished. Thanks.

Found reference that Seven uses #7447, maroon colored Scotchbrite.

It appears that Scotchbrite is not recommended for polished finishes.

+1 on the maroon Scotchbrite - Seven sent me some for buffing out small scratches on my Axiom. It works great as long as you dont overdo it

Depends how much you trust your hand in keeping a consistent finish.

Maroon here too. It made my old Colorado Ti look like new. It's an easy job.
I don't see why a polished finish couldn't be converted to brushed using Scotch Brite. It's all bare metal after all with no protective clear coat over it. |

Cut strips about 1 inch wide or less and brush like shoes. Try on a chainstay first to get an idea of the force and speed needed and you'll get it in 2 minutes. |

i've found that keeping the scotchbrite wet during the brushing process improves results.
