What do you think of this Kiev? I had one with very bad black paint and instead of repainting it I took sandpaper, removed the black paint and polished the metal under it.

I think it looks nice without the black paint :-)

Wow, that actually looks very nice! It's a little brushed but gives it a cool look! Nice job Ulrich!

Thanks, guys :-)

Vlad, yes, it looks a bit brushed even if I took very fine sandpaper.
I wonder that Arsenal never has planned to put such a Kiev in the market. It looks more modern and if I remember correctly KMZ has made a Kristal without the black paintings as a prototype.
