Hi all,

I recently bought some ceramic chips and cutting powder to use in a new polishing hoping to achieve a matt finish on my silver pieces. I have prepared the new rubber barrel with some coke (30 mins) followed by barrelbrite with steel shots (2 hrs) until the barrelbrite solution came out clean in cream colour. After that I put in the ceramic chips + cutting powder + water for polishing, the solution came out greyish and the silver pieces also got a grey tint on it - is this normal? I'm not sure if the "grey" was due to the matt polishing effect making it "dull"
or if there is a problem with my solution... any advice?
