Has anyone here ever had the paint sanded off and had the aluminum polished? If so where did you take it and how much? Would a paint shop do this?

 

well the guy i bought my bike from polished the swingarm and rims himself but didnt finish the swingarm so told me just to get some sand paper and i think he said wet sand the things u want polished, then buff with a buffer on like a drill or w/e, then use some polish should look great, sounds easy enough. i dunno what grit sand paper or any specifics just tellin what i no. Now im not guaranteein anything so if u dyi and it looks like **** not my fault.<<(Always gotta cover the ***, u no)

 

I saw someone on the forum had done it a coupla months back. Try doing a search to see if you can find the thread.

 

pollishing aluminum is all the same you sand with a harder grit and go lighter and lighter to like 400-600 grit then you take a polishing wheel and give er to be honest it is way easier to take it to a shop that will do it i don't think paint shops will do it tho custom fab shops would tho im guess altho just my two cents so like said above if ya **** it up not my fault
