This has got to be the toughest band I've ever done. it was my first time so the details are still a bit blurry for me. My suggestion is if you want to refinish this type of band, Take a leak before you start.

The point for this post is to prove that these bands can be refinished by individuals who simply set themselves to do it. Once again, I dont tell much but the point is to show that persistence and experimentation can lead to success. This thing took me 2 whole hours and it shouldn't have taken that long. You simply have to commit, even I didn't know if I would succeed, but I commited to it, and I came out on top, not the consistent screw ups. Cheers!

Not in bad condition at all, but I can improve it.

Polish, polish , polish, but don't wear things down.

Success! Phew!

Cheers!
