Possible Raw Finishing

[sixtoes1313]

Well, i was thining of possibly opening a small buissness type deal and doing raw polished finishing of parts like ive done with my mag.


It would entail the same steps as an anno service. You send your parts to my place with payment in the form of a M/o or paypal and in a few days ill have em finished and send em back.
Prices would probly be about
$50-60 for a full marker. Barrels and valves excluded.
Let me know if your interested and if i get enough interest ill start it up.

Parts will be hand polished to a very shiney aluminum finish like in the pics
Keep in mind every month or so depending on playing time you'll have to repolish the alum to keep the finish and stop oxidation, but so far mine has held up pretty good especially against finger prints: Way better than the Stainless body.

How about an old tippmann 98. Do you think you could polish it up? if so pm me with price details.

Thanks

What are you using to polish these? Are you using a polishing wheel with compound or what?

[sixtoes1313]

using a mixture of steel wool type products getting lighter and lighter. then going to compound, then wax.

What would it run to have an SS body and valve polished. FYI, there shouldn't be any reason you can't do a valve as long as you don't polish the portion that contacts the rail.

That'd get boring quickly.

Build a vibratory finisher. I almost did, but got lazy.

reason i dont wanna do barrels and valves that have anno on them is because i bead blast my parts prior to polishing. and wouldnt wanna mess anything up. I havent attempted to polish grey SS stuff yet. so i wont do that yet unless someone is willing to let me experiment on their stuff or i get one of my own.

I've got an SS valve and body. The body was matte grey and is not slighlty polished. I have no problem sending my stuff over for you to test out. Its pretty hard to ruin a valve or body.

I have 2 of the gray SS bodies I'd like done if you find out that you can. I might even let you experiment on them if you want.
