Metal polishing

<< < (3/5) > >>

Superkav:
I should have made it clear that I've targeted polishers who do parts for classic cars and motorbikes. Not just engine blocks but interior parts. Cast aluminium indicator levers, motorcycle foot PGA and gear shifters, brake levers etc.
I've made it very clear that these parts are old, rare and expensive. I've told them about the stamps and detailing that needs to be kept and I'm sending the pedals to Travis on the understanding that he will check them in the flesh and let me know what he thinks he can achieve before any work commences.  :daumenhoch:

Some of my parts (such as my Ukai rims) have a very feint stamp but I'm taking them to an old boy in a local engravers to see if he can make the stamp clearer before they even go to be polished. If that works out I'm gonna see about gett him to go over a Tuf Neck stamp and see what he can do with that.

I'll update this thread with all my results.
