Worked really well!
I didn’t paint mine. Didn’t want to go through the hassle. I think the raw finish looks great!
Can't wait for that Qui Gon, let's not get too greedy, can't put too much pressure on Dan ;P
I really should live by that
I call him once a week asking for a new run of this and that lol

I love it!! Keep doing it
Thanks will do. I ordered some today.
I think the main thing that’s going to be annoying is disassembling the entire hilt to polish the delrin. Definitely a lot of steps in that.
Does the cream eventually absorb or dry so that it’s not greasy afterwards?
Also what was your method for buffing the aluminum parts? Did you just hold them by hand and use the scotch brite pad?
First coat the delrin parts and let them sit for a bit. Then sand while coated and coat again.
For the aluminum parts, I used the scotch brite spinning it in hand while holding the pad. I used the delrin emitter to fix the 3 prong emitter piece in place to help with spinning. I also used mother's aluminum polish to finish
LOL!!!
I did paint mine. I did not have any problem. I just pointed the spray paint at the parts and pressed the nozzle.
You’re a wizard

Those are nice tips.
Sorry guys. I don't mean to be withholding. But, I just didn't really have any trouble with painting the delrin and didn't really take any particular steps beyond wiping down the surface, letting it dry, and painting it according to the instructions on the can. This is the paint I used

Paint on Delrin?
Hey folks, I have a couple of pieces that were cut out of a plastic that I think is Delrin. My friend who cut it just used a scrap he has had for years and he doesn't know what it is. So, even suspecting it of being Delrin, I tried to paint it anyway, with Krylon Fusion and also with...

I am currently working on a side project that I am going to have to paint some Delrin pieces. I'm well aware of the difficulty of adhering paint to Delrin, but I'm not sure of the best means to get

That’s good to know though. For the time being I just used the cream to bring the black sheen out a bit. But if I ever choose to paint it in the future I’ll just make sure it’s totally clean from any grease.
