tranoid no ki Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 So here it is. I have been carrying on about this for about a week now, and it's finally here! My 2011 KM Quadmetal. As usual, John is the best and got it here, and FedEx did it's part by braving the snow to get it here with zero delays. This is my first KM, and I can't wait to smoke out of it, the attention to detail, the color, everything about it is perfect. I polished it up and it looks phenominal. So without further ado, here it is!

The stem is nice and heavy, and it feels really durable. I can't wait to smoke out of the thing, at the same time, I still just want to stare at it and admire it a whole lot more! I have always wanted a KM, and I figured now is as good a time as any. Here's to the new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I used brasso on it. Probably not the best thing to do to it, but it was the first thing that came to mind, and it looks great. I just had my first session, OG Maraschino Cherry, and the thing pulls like a dream. I'm hooked on KM. The thing is beautiful. And I love the vase. I can see the quality of the smoke before I even have to choke on a bad bowl or something. Those have become a thing of the future lately so that shouldn't be an issue. The clear is the best.

Chreees Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 That's why yours isn't black anymore... you stripped it off, haha. Brasso takes it right off. All the guys who want to keep it on are freaking out trying to figure out how to polish it without removing the black. I prefer regular metals, not shit painted or "oxidized" onto the metal... This is why I just prefer the regular Trimetal version of this same style. I can't blame you for just going ahead and stripping the black. It was most likely going to start coming off eventually anyways. Plus now you can polish it anytime with anything. I use Brasso on my trimetal and it works great. Nice looking KM man. You will enjoy it for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Looks good, I kinda like it better polished up. Minor differences between this and a modern trimetal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
