Glass Fin Recondition

The other day I got back my first Lokbox Quad Set, I borrow it for a demo board, and has all demo stuff they got really abused. They were full of sctraches and the gloss dissapear on certain parts from dragging in the sand and had spots from the salt water… well they looked bad…

So I decide to get hold of some 80 grit sand paper and diluent to remove the clear coat. Then lightly wet-sanded and rubbed it a bit.

Here is the result:

Before

After

Besides the killer look they turned out lighter and flexier.

Warning: dont try to do this on molded fins aka “china fins” they will look like shit!!

…may be it have no gloss coat but a clear coat only (lacquer)

is like to think that the gloss in the board can disappear…
