Polished the 19 barrel

Just recently purchased this Glock 19 and it had a small amount of holster wear on the exposed area of the barrel. Decided to shine it up a bit. Turned out awesome I think.

Jkurtz,

That looks awesome! I assume the letters are done with white nail polish. I saw another thread about the lettering.

Is your entire barrel polished? Can you provide some instruction on how you did that and what tools and chemicals you used? I like it.

Thanks...

Turned out real nice LR...

Care to share how you did it...?

Did you use a certain polish...Flitz ?
Certainly! I used a fine #0000 steel wool using just a dab at a time of Flitz and Simichrome polishing paste, alternating between the two. I believe Flitz by itself would work just fine though. Go slow and wipe to see results as you go. It took about 15 minutes per side. I did all three sides of the flat surfaces of the barrel. I may do the entire barrel later.

That's interesting, can you post a pic of the barrel out of the slide?
