Restored Doorsills!
-
[attachment=13273]IMG_5865_2012-02-18.JPG[/attachment]
"Before & After" type of shot of a restored door sill. Not having seen a truly original, pristine doorsill from a Step-Down, I assume these originally had a brushed finish. So, that was my goal, with the doorsill on the top. A larger picture can be viewed here:

The brushed finish was accomplished by straightening, de-denting, filing, sanding straight down the length of the sill, re-painting and touching up where necessary and completing with a couple coats of lacquer.
Comments or suggestions always welcome!
