I'm refinishing my 1991A1 right now to a polished blued.
As a comparison, does anyone know to what "level" (grit) the Gold Cups of the 70's were done? The current XSE? Kimber "royal" finish?
I'm trying to compare from what I have or have seen and it's difficult , for me anyway, to determine "in the white". I'll be able to tell when it's hot blued, but that will be too late.
I'm up to 600 grit and tried some cold blue to determine the finish, but hot blue has a different look and depth, I'm told.
Thanks.
