Tumbled my first part yesterday - 6082 aluminium, no surface preparation - just as it came from the stock-holder.
Yes, the shinier part is the one that got tumbled... I used 3mm porcelain beads as the finishing media.
It took 10 hours to get the results you see - admittedly my tumbler is a tad underpowered:
...and could benefit from spinning at 25-30RPM as opposed to it's lowly 14RPM (as covered in another post) but all in all I'm quite pleased with the results. Another 10 hours and it'd be close to mirror, I reckon...
