How about this restoring job??

Ever have a piece of stainless that was junk and you could not find a replacement?

G&B 96 nozzle receiver trim. Before and after pictures.
Cracked in two places, dented, gouged and scrached.
I did not restore this piece of stainless.

John that looks great. Stainless is surprisingly easy to work with. How did you fill the cracks?

I'm impressed; on occasion having picked and filed and polished the odd piece of trim. I can truly appreciate the awesome craftsmanship and attention to detail!

How much did it cost to have that bezel restored? What was the turn around time frame like?

Not sure of the price yet. They are doing a bunch of stuff for us. About three weeks for rush. Six weeks normally.
