Date on the pic is incorrect, taken this week. I know some may find the stickers tacky but the overall effect is way better than standard I feel.

That must have taken a while! What did you use to polish the metal up (ie: hand/dremel/bench polisher)? Have you clear coated it at all to keep the finish?

It's very satisfying to polish metal - I recently polished one of my keys that had flaky paint and was badly scratched. I need to wet sand it to remove the worst of the scratches but the dremel did a fine job for the time being.

I used a multi tool like a dremel (actually from ALDI) and wire wool, sandpaper, wet and dry. Havent clearcoated but will. Also, I did my keys the same as yours, paint stripper then wet and dry and solvol autosol metal polish, they need doing again. 360 keys let the car down and need work!
