yeah, you start out with a rough grade of sandpaper and the sand it down good with a fine grade of sand paper. it takes a lot of time and elbow grease.

It takes a little too much time and only comes out ok. WHen you get it polished/powder coated. Total difference.

powder coated is the way to go...doesnt fall apart and self polishing takes forever and you can screw up and make it look like crap, just spend the xtra $$$
