POLISH the living snot out of a previously BEAD BLASTED TITANIUM frame :?:

I have one, and cant make my mind up if it would ruin the look with a blingy shine..

Ive attached 2 pics of the left and right chainstays..Right side is a quick basic polish, which does shine more than the pics show..

Left side is the standard BEAD blasted finish which is sort of satin finish and very low key :?

Please post your thoughts and end my dilemna :roll:

Well, not really a dilemna just like to gather others thoughts :wink:

ooh I like the shine, but there is a danger it'll look like regular aluminium. At least satin titanium looks like only one thing.
 
shine is nice but have to agree with orange 71 and take no notice of that PHOTO COMMENT hes just jelous because he cant afford a TI FRAME :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: as he's from the one of the upper american states :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe you should sell the frame and spend the $$$ on some photography lessons?

:wink:

2 seconds of my time with camera off my phone :wink:

Jeez, i thought they were pretty good :lol:
 
Actually they differ hugely from my cellphone pix in that they don't feature a large close up of one of my fat fingers. :D

dont worry the canada is full of photo shop experts im sure he can help :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Next question..

Yes, i aggree with the comments about SATIN vs SHINY finish..

Think if polished may even cheapen the look of the frame :cry:

Now all i gotta do is seek out a bead blasting shop :wink:

Thanks also for the photography advice :lol:
 
Hahaha... but polished frames aren't as usual as bead blasted ones
I prefer the cheaper polished look...but my favourite is painted Ti.
