I took the project phone dials to a shop to see if the lips could be straightened out. They only touched one of them, and were only able to improve it marginally. Meh. Oh well, guess I'll just slap some paint on them and call them done.

Sounds like a good combo Hobo! Can't wait to see the wheels once they get done!

Yeah, polished CRX Phone Dials. We'll see how they look when done.

My hands are bleeding, so... time to get off the computer.

Polishing is no joke haha. If you happen to have a Dremel...it will make your life soo much easier. I think those will look sick polished.

No dremel. Just a lot of sand paper and a block.

Do you think I need to clear coat the polished surface to protect it or just roll with it as-is?
