Need suggestions on Frame polishing

[BigDiesel]

do tell homie???

a nice step-by-step with a lil 'pizzaz' would be loved by all: throw in a lil' "Emiril" style:
"okay, once you have the frame stripped of coating, you hit it with the sander n 220 paper...BAM! now you got a smooth surface, then you get your woord strip wheel an BAM! just a touch of Mothers' Polish here and BAM! BAM! BAM! now you gota niiiiiiiiice clean, polished frame. Delish!"

All you need is time and patience time and patience. But a little education on the subject never hurt neither

Where to get 2000 grit sandpaper, hold on I think we have some at the office.

Yep, it was in the bath room, let me know if you need a roll.

 

[E-RACER]

I go up to 2500 grit!!!

can be bought at any autobody supply...

 

[BigDiesel]

i see sore knuckles n beat-up fingers in my near future...

 

[E-RACER]

Maybe not..get the electric palm sander.I try not to touch it by hand unless really have to!!

 

[BigDiesel]

u mean like a lil Black & Decker/Craftsman? or better Quality?
what kinda buffer u use?

I'll probly buy this stuff cuz some ridn bros are guna chip in $$ n then when Im done, all the equipment will just mosey on to the next guy, so dont wana skimp on important stuff then f@*k up my frame...thanks for tip E-racer, your work looks awesome!

 

[E-RACER]

I have a crafstman and a Dewalt..they both will work..

funny thing there pretty quite when new..now mine makes a roar!!!!!!!!!!!

best tool though for the job,no air compressor needed,make sthe welds nice like little speed bumps,and 8 by11" sandpaper sheets are pretty cheap..start with 80 grit to get the clear and ruff spots..then go,180,220,320,400,600,1200,1500...You can also go to 2500,but do the 1200 and up wet as it wears out very easily on aluminum...

Making sure You have all the deeper marks from the previous grit gone before going to the next..

I then use a car buffer with the mothers in the red/white can...followed by the billet by hand..

Good luck and Thanks for the compliment!!

 

[E-RACER]

ps..I just use the car buffer on the main frame..use the bench grinder(WITH BUFF WHEELS)and hand held diegrinder for the hard to reach areas and inside the holes ect..

 

[BigDiesel]

thaks for all the tips guys, E-racer esp-talked to a brotha last night @ dinner and we're gonna get started hopefully end of this week!
