ok, i'm looking into selling 304 schedule 10 elbows and stuff... i have a sample that is polished and want to know if people want them polished, or just plain. the plus to polished is bling factor, but the downside is your collector and flanges wouldn't be polished.

let me know.

here is a comparison of 1.5" long radius and tight radius fittings. they would probably sell for $5.25 and $5.00 each

 

How much would the polished add?

 

If your looking to stand out in the market, Polished. I prefer plain myself, it doesnt take that much longer to polish them myself if im building my own stuff anyway.

 

that would be the polished price.

the down side is that any straight pipe used in the manifold wouldn't be polished and so it wouldn't really look uniform...

 

+1

 

in that case you'd only be semi-ballin, i say keep em plain, let the welder polish em if he wants to

 

why wouldnt the straight pieces not be polished? are you ordering them pre polished or soemthing? ive always just seen them polished by hand, takes like 30 seconds

 

we dont need no stinkin polish. :P

 

If the rest of the piping isn't polished, no sense in selling stuff that won't match.

Unpolished.

 

chrome is for cadillacs
