Metal polisher.
« on: February 17, 2014, 12:55 PM »
Who on here if anyone has the skills and time to polish an aluminium frame for me ? Its going to be anodised so needs to be silky smooth but leaving the welds looking how they should. Its been shot/sand blasted at some point and has a bit of an orange peel finish to it.
WANTED....FRED BLOOD QUADANGLE FRAME..

That's why I'm not going to attempt it Sam. The frame is in stunning condition other than that which is a shame.

don't think any polishers will either ash,  it will be just too time consuming and risky from fookin it up.  can you not paint/powder it?

Unless you are really confident of a polishing company the only solution is to do it yourself. Break it down into small, acheivable goals and it should be ace  :daumenhoch:

If it were mine i would pick a section like a chain stay an spend a whole week (an hour or so every night) going through the grades of wet or dry/emery cloth with a finer grade every night.

Could have it done in 7 weeks.

Lengthy i know but if a jobs worth doing and all that  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
