Hey all, I was quoted $75 from my polishing guy to do a rim lip. I think that's too much! I have a bunch of stuff that needs polishing and I'm just thinking of learning and doing myself. Is it difficult? I have a bench grinder that I modifyied way back and threw a buffing wheel on it. My friend and I tried it, but now I know we had the wrong compund. I think the kit came with a blue bar. I've done my reseach and it seems that the aluminum polishing kit would get me started.
My other question is: can I sandblast the aluminum rim with any type of media? Right now I have glass bead in the cabinet. How hard is it to go from sandblasting and a rough surface to a smooth polished surface on an aluminum rim? What about small spaces?
I'm trying to do a rim with powdercoated spokes with a polished lip.
