Swingarm - Removal of Orange Peel

This swingarm was never intended to be polished, the finish is very uneven, Yamaha decided it would be best to have a "Matt" finish as a cost saving approach. I decided I would remove the orange peel effect and polish it up.....

After approximately 8 hours over 2 days I have it ready for polishing. I started with a 3M scotch disc followed by 60, 80, 120, 240, 360 grit sanding discs, then 400 and 800 grit wet sand paper, (i have some 1200 wet and dry paper, I might give it the once over with that too)
