Mirror effect on metal parts
m
Hello, I would like to polish this piece to achieve a mirror effect. Can you advise me the best finishes for this type of piece given its geometry? I want all surfaces, even those not flat, to be smooth and polished in the same way. Suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help.
