    My Glock 17 has a slide that was polished from black!

    As far as I know, it was done with wet and dry paper to start, then finished with varying grades of steel wool.

    PM the Joker and ask nicely:P

    Yes it's possible, but only with metal slides (otherwise you're just gonna paint it). Basically you take the paint off the slide, and polish the metal to a nice sheen. There's a lot of method to it, but Joker can explain it much better than I can, so as such I leave it for himself

    There is a chrome aerosol available in some motor factors, it looks good, alot faster to spray it than all that sanding, to sand it use wet 1500 grade paper, then 2000, then a trizact after that use peek metal polish with a buffer on its slowest setting, looks awesome if its given a very light grey scotch and coat of laquer.
