Spinning shroud in the lathe took off all the original coating.Placing shroud over a wood dowel PAINTED it with ceramic black header paint.After dry ( Week or more ) rubbed it down with a dry rag bringing surface to a semi gloss then applied PASTE WAX to it and once dry ( Couple hours) rubbed it down to a really nice semi gloss smooth finish.Color is very blued looking likely because of the ceramic paint ? ... It's not a true black but sorta grey/blue
That looks incredible. Looks almost purple. What made you resort to this modification. Just curious is all
