Title: Slingshot OOB Finish?
Post by: Cyril The Syrup on April 18, 2013, 12:57:48 AM

Does anyone know what the OOB finish of the Slingshot is? Brunswick website only lists it as High Gloss Polish...

Don't obsess with trying to match factory finishes, rarely do we have access to the equipment to replicate them...

Brunswick's current finish for equipment like the Slingshot is 500, rough buff, then polish...

I wasn't talking about the polishes... I was referring to the machines used to finish balls at the factories...

Here's from the Slingshot info sheet:

http://www.bowlwithbrunswick.com/downloads/info-sheets/BB_Slingshot_Info_Sheet_1.pdf (http://www.bowlwithbrunswick.com/downloads/info-sheets/BB_Slingshot_Info_Sheet_1.pdf)

Sand to 400 grit and then use Brunswick Factory Finish High-Gloss Polish to restore the original factory finish on "high-gloss polish" balls.

I wasn't refering to the machine.  Many dont know you can buy the rough buff polish and the high gloss polish.
