Hi all.

As said, after have it refined with 300 grit paper it has lost any sign of sanding procedure but the surface has become more... i would say "velvety", something far remembering soft-touch surface used on black macbook.

However it hasn't become completely smooth nor shining because of "particled" polymer composition. After a closer look to the surface of an original mac (i've some of them in very good condition, you can take a look over them clicking on my signature link) i've noticed dircct light (sun or camera flash) reflecting into something like a thin clear layer but i've some concerns if it has been acquired because of age and/or cleaning procedures over time.

This is the main reain reason why i've already tried on a mac LC the use of a car like scratch remove polish with excellent results. The aim isn't to obtain a shining awful surface; is indeed to obtain a surface virtually indistinguishable from the original. I havent done yet because of serigraphy problem that requires time, patience and precision.

Regards.
