It's easy enough to DIY . Madness to pay someone to do it for you ;)You just need to work down through the grades .
Welding on the other hand is pretty skilled on ali .Depends what you need doing ?? Go or Show ??

i had a small kit once, used it to polish up some bits and bobs, but they weren't in bad shape, just needed to pop again..

i then thought about doing a set of wheels, sanded back the center caps first and then when at a fine grade used the kit.. waste of time:D

theres polishing a gt turning gearknob and then theres refurbing wheels, you'll need to upgrade your tools, materials and products as its a job for propper gear..

i have some willy wheels i was polishing but i can't find anyone on google, i think they can make such a killing powerdercoating that no one will graft for you.. :(

I can ally weld and pretty much any other welding you can think of but is it worth with the postage there and back?
