Our box was waiting when we got home last night. I opened it but was too tired to try and undo the super duper wrap job they had on them. :D We are going to get them polished and clear powder coated. :drink::drink: |
Got mine too...great packaging and prompt shipping. Question, if I have these polished, do they have to be clear powdercoated to protect the finish? Can I just leave them polished or do a couple coats of clear at a friends body shop? Or will they scratch unpowdercoated?

Tim,
Sand, sand, sand...Start at 400 and work your way up to 1000-1500. Then polish. You are in fresh water, like me, so I did not coat them and they stay real nice. Once a year, hit them with some Flitz or Mothers Billett and they are fine. On a sanding note, the tops and inside cover go real fast, the grooves take time and you may have to start at like 320 grit. I used a pencil eraser to get in the slots and clean up the machine marks. It doesn't take too long! Let me know if you need anything else, anyone! Thanks again! Dave |
Got my also thanks!

Dave Mine are getting polished at $60 each, and they recommended that we do NOT clear powder coat them...........and these guys are top notch experts! http://www.powdercoater.com They did my bilge parts when I did the diamond plate project, and a powder coated some custom boat camera mount parts. They know their stuff. He said just polish them once a year or so. He said one chip and the stuff will peel like a cancer since they are polished. |

Back from them today. They recommended waxing them periodically to keep them looking like this!
Now where do we get the cup holders? |
