got time til i can afford my exhaust and swinger so might as well get shinny!
 
what polishing compound are you use?

also does that bench grinder bounce around when using it? doesn't look like it is on a sturdy base.
 
brown and white. suggested by 442. no it doesn't move at all. i don't want to screw it down bc it would be in my way the rest of the time the clamps work great. any other issues with my work shee

thanks to all you other guys!
 
well i appoligize then shee. it's just what i expect from you so it is hard to not take what you say the wrong way. i'll work on givin you more of a chance.
 
when i was doing my polishing i used the brown stuff to, it will give a good finish.
looks like you are not finished with the half yet, it does take a while to do polishing. it would take me about an hour to make the brake lever look the way i wanted it to.
 
POGS? I have only put like an hour or so into it. my prep work is wha is killin me. i started with a 120grit drum sander and that was way too rough. I used those dremmel wheels to try and smooth it out a bit but it is taking forever and those things wear out quick. I think the rotozip is turning too many rpm's for them and i have it all the way down.
 
i used a wire wheel on my stuff then used the polishing wheel. nice because on the bench grinder you didn't have to switch anything out, one side was the wire wheel, the other was the polishing wheel.
some times i used sanding paper to make it smooth.

woooooooooops wrong thread lmao



and again the cases look really nice
 
you are a man who loves life with a little shine on it I I prefer rust and mud or is that just because I am lazy
 
I hate rust but i love mud and my shinny ass quad will see plenty of it when it is done. dirt comes off a smoothe surface better than rough
