My First Acrylic Euro Pen

[Giospro]

This was the first acrylic pen i did, it was easier than i thought.
Wet sand up to 6000 grit, used car polish to see what it would do (Turned out OK)
What is a good polish/Finish for acrylics?

that looks great! That is a very cool blank. My first inclination was to try and picture it with silver hardware but I have to say, the gold works with it very well. They are a nice mix. Have you tried any of the fine scratch remover type car products. Also, I believe that McGuires makes a plastic polish that is supposed to work well.

Gold is all i had at that time but Silver would look better.
I'll see about McGuires polish and try that.

Thanks

A good finish on acrylics is to MM through 12,000 followed by plastic polish and/or scratch and swirl remover wax. The main thing is to get rid of the circular sanding scratches, and that's best done with MM.

Very nice job! I think the gold/blue combination is a hit.
I usually mm to 12000, then buff with White Diamond and then Ren Wax.

Not bad for the first try. The pen looks highly polished. I'd keep on doin what your doin if the finish turns out that nice every time. Great looking pen!

Looks good as does the finish.
Like the others have suggested to finish and even Brasso if its available over there.

Nice looking pen...and I along with a few of the others like the gold with the blank...I think they go together very well. Thanks for sharing
