    After finishing the de-burring I am going to try a scotchbrite brush that I have for a stick grinder and give it a good polish. If that works out ok then its paint time.

    Managed to get this thing finished at last. I decided that the easiest way was just to spray the whole thing then do a 0.1mm surface pass to "bring out the lettering" then gave it a coat of laquer. Looks nice in sunlight.

    Looking good, bit of wet and dry now to remove the tool marks ?

    Wet and dry on something very flat, like a sheet of glass, would work very well. Assuming the spindle is well trammed it shouldn't take much to remove the marks. If you have the means to use a big fly cutter then there would be no marks.
