Attach the strips with contact adhesive to a suitable width firm narrow flat (I have used things like "automotive points files" to pre papered quality nail files). Use grades of wet and dry 320, 400, 600, 800, 1200 then 2000 and finally buff with automotive cutting compound like "CRC Repo Extra cut" and polish like "CRC Repo Auto Cream" . Just need to take care to avoid sanding through the virgin surrounding paint. The masking tape helps to keep the sanding strips from contacting the virgin surface.
Have fun, Mark

Thanks Mark and Lewis. I have a tak finderscope I will be practising on first.
I hear you Lewis around differences re age of scopes. There’s no way round that unless as you say you match against the scope itself. Suspect it’s not a bunnings trip?
Cheers. Col, the intent was to offer left overs but looks like you have a Lewis tucked up your sleeve somewhere?
Good luck and hope it works out well.
