Homemade Aluminium FlexFender

My razor pro i have had for 1 year. I finally started to it use again for fun it was sitting out in the backyard for around 3 months because i got angry with it and decided just to leave it out there and then recovered it, i got a pice or aluminum and cut it down and bent it then drilled holes and used some bolts that i found laying around I still have to file down the back of the brake because it is uneven.
i need to get new griptape and wheels
What else should i do to this scooter?

Bitch please, PSS AUS is a shop that obviously has access to professional polishing tools, I did this in my bedroom in an hour. If I had more kinds of sandpaper it would have come out better, but I only had some 600 grit and you need to start with a rougher paper like 50 grit to get all the scratches and nicks out, then work your way up progressively to a mirror shine. I did the best I could with what I had, fucking crucify me. It still looks sick so IDGAF.

And yes, I know they have better tools.. Mut you can do almost same as this at your home if you really want.
This is my tilt fork.

I think that is polished. But its still pretty bad. If you look closely. I only had 1200P sandpaper. Usually I finish it with 1800.
But anyway, your griptape is nice. And polished part is hard to picture, so it maybe can be reason why i dont think your deck is shiny enough. But its still mooore better looking than just some rawed part.

I know you can, I've done it before (not on scooter parts) but that was never my intention. It was just a spur of the moment thing, I got my deck sandblasted and I didn't like the finish so I found some sandpaper and started scuffing it up. Since you've done it, you know as well as I do that a couple pieces of 600 grit aren't getting a mirror shine out of anything lol. Thanks about the griptape btw ,I try to make it as legit as I can haha
