mvince201 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 One of my buddies did his to remove the black from it rendering it full copper. It didn't work, mine apparently has a better coating than his lol. It did clean it up real well for me tho! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvince201 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ended up going a different route, but got the job done! Still need to polish though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What did you do to get the black off Vince? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ended up using a little Goo Gone, a rough sponge (like the ones for cleaning dishes), and a soft wire brush (I have a nice little one I use for detailing cars, worked great). Took me about 45 minutes to do it all, minus polishing which I'm getting ready to do lol Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Looks really good! Nice job! After you polish, are you gonna clear coat it or run it natural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Natural for sure, I'm looking for a nice patina! Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) First pass with never dull on the 18350 tube. Will probably do 2-3 more before Im satisfied. Edited May 22, 2014 by mvince201 Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I really like how that looks! Don't they sell ones that are already copper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grailhunter78 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I know this will sound crazy but ketchup will take the black patina off copper. Not sure it may be the vinegar in it. Try it with a penny made before 1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) You're right. But this wasn't black patina it was some sort of paint Yes they sell ones that are already copper. But they weren't released yet when I bought mine. And I like the black copper logo much more Edited May 22, 2014 by mvince201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
