yeah thats the one, just wondered if a wooden cabinet is gonna be good enough. Dont you have to have a extractor and light inside etc. SO you can see inside while your working.

Just wondered if someone out there sells plans and a list of what you will need. I need to set up fairly quickly oncie i get this loan for the compressor etc so i wana start getting on with it all now

on an up to date thread, mpierich, got any ideas on my last post on my thread?

Not sure what thread...the one I saw had to do with a blast cabinet. I will eventually make my own...just get a blaster and build or scavange a box, you can buy the gloves that attach to the front, a funnel and screen in the bottom and Bob's yer Uncle, as you fellas say...

Re: making real money polishing?

when you say you charge 1000 $ for frame and swing arm , how many hours do you put on the job,and are you talking about frame and swing arm on the bike
or stripped parts alone.
and what would you call making money ? this could be different for different people , if you are working your day job at 35 $ an hour weould be different
than for someone working at 12 $ an hour

Heya all

Im from Sydney, Australia and i automotive metal polish full time.
Show cars, hot rods, bikes, concourse cars etc etc
Its do-able!!
Most polishers in Australia are industrial polishers, some do a fair bit of automotive work, but i think i would be the only fulltime automotive dedicated polisher in Australia!!

Mark!!
PS: For the longer members of this forum, is it a good idea if i throw up some pics of my work under my own thread, or is that not a good idea?!?! Im a newbie on this forum as you can see

Re: making real money polishing?

do you polish wheels that are already polished, giving them a mirror-like finish?

[saiyan7]

Re: making real money polishing?

thanks.

Re: making real money polishing?

I guess I am just good at it, LOL I have been polishing for about 10 years so...

I am based in Minnesota, I will do all your work if you can get it here...

About the wheels, I would at least need a picure or something first cause I can't give an estimate without knowing what I need to do to it first! In other words, I need to see it before I can tell how much work it involves...
