PA-63 Polished Frame

Has anyone polished the titanium/aluminum frame of their PA-63 and if so can you share pictures? I've seen it done once before and it looks fantastic!

Now if you could only EASILY remove all the machine marks from the slide!

Those pix look good. I like the matte black slide and the polished frame. Also the bobbed hammer. But I don't necessarily like how he re-formed the frame.

I may try polishing mine this winter and even the bobbed hammer. I may go as far as the matte black finish if I can find someone to do it or learn it myself.

I also don't like the way he hacked the frame. The slide looks like it's been parkerized and there are many home kits to do it. I hear it's extremely simple. Try googling parkerizing at home and you'll see many examples.

This is what I'm looking to do, flat black parkerized slide, mirror polished frame and deep redwood grips. Should look great plus I'm bored and need a gun project.
