An easy non expensive way to make your Tornado T look like a bullet :0)
Carefully scrape away the black coating and use wire wool to pollish away any imperfections I think you'll find this makes your Tornado T look Awesome :0)

Cool. I'm about to buy a spare TT, so I'll give it a go. Sounds great. Thanks for bringing it up.

There was another thread about doing this. They suggested using fingernail polish remover. That way you do not scratch things up

Yeah you could do that but I disk wanna do it just incase you get any in the atty and that would taste good at all at least this way you would risk doing that and using wire wool gets rid of any marks and pollishes it up really nice

I would start off with 400 grit sandpaper and work up several stages of grit and polish with a 1200. |

Getting a little bored with the Champions League final last night I got the wire wool out and got to work. I now have a lovely shiny Chrome TT. Would love to post a pic but for some reason the photo doesn't want to attach here. I'll keep trying. Mr Vapor, thanks for giving me the idea.

Hiya phillucas, you'll need to use an external picture host and then paste in the link using the INSERT IMAGE button on the message console.

Phillucas that looks very nice amd alot better with the clear cart on it and I'm glad you trusted me enough to give it a try and Mr Horsemen who suggested nailpollish remover ? It didn't do a single thing to get the exsisting paint off :0( I just stuck at it my way and I think the results are amazing :0)

Phil, if you highlight your link in your reply and then press the "Insert Image" button ( the first icon on the middle line of the modifier buttons ) it will post the image in the message rather than the link to it  |

That's nice. I must say I'm enjoying the chrome look. I was a bit concerned the wire wool would scratch, so I tried it out first on a dead atomiser, but it worked a treat.
Here's to more chrome vaping,
Phil

Mr.Vapor...cool idea am going to try that on one of mine. I wonder if just rubbing it with GooBgone on a rag might do the trick.
@ Cammy UK Thanks for posting Pics. Very cool!
