i recently rebuilt my quad polished every aluminum piece on it, sanded them all smooth and everything including the swingarm. I am someone who likes to work and wants to start there own bussiness like my dad has with his custom paintwork. After sayin that would anyone be interested in shipping parts to me for polishing or think that i could get this goin like pappy and his powder coating. Jus wondering if it had potential cause its something i like to due and would like to make a little extra cash doin it.

how long does it take you to polish a swingarm? how much do you charge to do a swingarm?

once i got it, it would take me 2 days then it could be shipped bck..as far as price how would $150 + shipping sound?......at lorettas this year my swingarm caught alot of attention and compliments as polished as it was, the picture doesnt do it enough justice, u would be more than satisfied.

Looks good man....if your into making a business out of it I would suggest doing the first bunch a little cheaper. until people can trust your work. then let it grow from there. the best advertising is word of mouf.;)
2 days? if your putting in 8 hrs @ 75 per day thats less than 10 bucks a hr.... thats what you really need to look at when considering "business"....so it would be key to find a more efficent way to do it, other than that i think your work looks good, however finding someone to pay 150...well im not sure how much of a market there is id look into those things and go from there
