Author Topic: Fitting grips to Ruger? (Read 665 times)

I just a set of Ajax grips for my Ruger BH. They are a little over sized just like I was expecting. They are some of the Perlite grips and I have just got the grips sanded to the proper fit. I have sanded them to 400 grit and tried to buff them with a dremal polishing wheel and simichrome. I wet sanded with paper and of course they look great wet. My question is - How do I get the high gloss back? Simichrome did not do it as I thought. Do I need to sand it further to 800 or 1000 grit? The fit is right and now all I need to do is get the shine back. Thanks for any help. This is the first grips I have tried to fit.

1200 grit wet dry paper or polishing compound from the auto body shop.

Thanks! I figured it out. I went to 1000 grit wet sanding then used the simichrome and the shine is back! Now I have grips that fit and look good.
