speaking of.... i almost chickened out on my rockers and 4 foot pieces and went and got a quote for 900.00 to get them all done (6 pieces total)
luckily i asked to see some of their polished work and it looked no where near as nice as the finish on the ones ive done myself..
i grabbed my pieces and left home to prepare myself for a stiff neck coming this month from too much buffin time...  |
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how much easier sisal wheels will make your scratch removing process. As far as how much you were quoted: that's just straight up highway robbery. Reason I say this is because if you do this long enough to get a wide variety of different parts under your belt, you'll eventually come to appreciate any occasion where the parts that you get are nice nice and flat, and a-symmetrical. People who do polishing for a living PRAY to get parts like this: they're easy. The guy who gave you that quote was either: A-extremely proud of himself, or B-already had his bills taken care of for the month so he figured he could afford to roll the dice. Either way, once you get your stuff done you can silently bask in the glory of the idea: "I just did at LEAST $900 worth of work here. Go me."
