Polishing Stainless Fuel Tank
Hello Fellas!
newbie here!
I am builidng a Street rod, and am having a Custom Stainless Fuel Tank built for it. I have puchased and used Caswell's stuff for polishing Aluminum, have a 3/4 Motor w/Buffs. The problem is, I obviously can't hold the Tank to the Motor, so I am going to have to get a Buff to the Tank.
What is the best way to do this? I think of using a air-powered Die Grinder w/a Buffs, but I think that will lead to an inconsistent finish. Can I find/use a Rotary Polisher of some sort (like a standard Car Polisher-DeWalt adjustable speed type)?
I have read here that Stainless is indeed tough to Polish-I have contaced a place that does Chrome work for me and they have quoted a Price in the $275-350.00 range-should I not try and break open the CheckBook? If I could use a Polisher (a la DeWalt or similar), I think I could use it on other things, so the initial purchase price could be spread over other tasks.
If there is a solution here, should I start w/Sisal or 320 or similar? Please give me some insight, and thanks for the input!
