I've brushed out a few Ti frames now, and have had nothing but great results. Two were blast finishes prior to brushing, one was shiny polished... totally difference experiences! The matte finishes brighten up but still come out fairly dark.. the polished frame stayed very bright and basically just took on depth. I'm sure the amount of elbow grease and the grit of pad you use makes a big difference, and I didn't do much experimentation.... not really caring what kind of result I got, so long as it was consistent and looked good. And seems pretty much no matter what you do, so long as it's uniform, it's gonna look great.
This time around, I've got a Ti frame that's UNfinished - totally in the raw. The texture is pretty rough and not super uniform. In the past, I've just done one scrub with a red pad. This time, I'm thinking I might want to do progressive scrubs... start with brown, then red.. or maybe even gray, tan, red??
Anyone have experience with brushing from raw, unfinished Ti and have tips, I'm all ears..
Thanks,
