   t cuts fine, as long as you keep them clean theyre just a shiny as if you paint em, and they wont look wonky

   a cloth with a bit of 'bite' helps. Eg one with dips and grooves in it rather than just flat material

   I'm painting my badges right now, I personally think it's a much better effect. Better shine if painted and it's kinda a dark grey when T-cutted. Worth the time and effort tbh

    Not sure why people have that opinion. Mine have polish on them and you can see your face in them

    Why t-cut it when you have already sanded the things? Just t-cut them mate, takes about 5-10 minutes no problem

    t-cut does the job...rough-ish cloth as said and youll have them done in no time...if you get blisters and start crying because its taken hours...its because your a girl...lol
    
    looks far better aswell!

    Doesnt take long to tcut the badges, 10-15mins tops
    all depends on how new your badges are i suppose, if theyre brand new (like mine were) chances are itl take slightly longer as they wont have any wear on them.a
