Craig Walker Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Your powder coat question is expensive I had my motor cases and all done with a steering stem and rear axle 600$ Now I think i got hosed on the deal but that is a different story. Polishing out your motor (jugs, and clutch cover) cheetah cub generally will run more but should run about 175-250 bucks. then if you want the cases polished add another 150 easily. I'm giving the prices that i used to charge havn't compared my prices to anybody lately but it could be less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf44 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If your polishing cases for $150 Ill send you 3 right now and every set I get from here on out. Most places wont even touch them because of how long it takes and what it intales to do a good job on them. The last set we did was alot more than that but customer was very happy as well. Polishing these days is pretty competitive. Everyone thinks they can do it but learn real quick its not as easy as it seems. Are you still polishing Craig Walker? I may be looking for a new polisher to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheefreak Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Is it trashed out as far as deep gouges/scratches? If you could get me a pic it would be best. I could give you a very accurate quote. And thank you Alf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Let me know if I can help at all guys. I do everything. Hey now....something about all that stuff on the red cloth looks a little familiar to me........OH YEAH....It's MY STUFF! Damian is the man! Great work on my stuff. I had my stuff clear ceramic coated so I wouldn't have to ever polish it again. Well.....the coating held up great on the motor, pipes, carbs, head, cases, cylinders. But it didn't last one trip on the axle and hubs. So those I have to touch up after I ride. But it sure is nice to clean my totally polished motor with just a squirt of brake cleaner or a quick shot of Windex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
