Re: Yoyospirit's Modding Thread: Update 4/18/14 Hot Yo Chilli

She looks good man and I don’t think it’s gonna be possible to maintain the grooves they way we do it. Might be able to get away with it using a tumbler. Still looks good though.

Awesome! Thanks, will definitely come back to you if I ever need a polish again! ;D

Thanks! And I don’t think a tumbler would achieve a mirror finish lol.

Would it have been possible to leave the grooves unpolished? I wonder how that would look.

Thought about that as well. They make some nice additives for the tumblers that work wonders. My father said they work very good based on seeing them where he used to work. They would leave the grooves though.

Chem strip plus steel wool plus polishing compound would save the grooves.

It would still look pretty ugly, the way this yoyo was anodized, when it was chemstripped there where black patches all over the yoyo, tried steel wool and Mothers before hand, had no effect. But thanks for the tip!

Hey, that Code 2 made me wonder, can you polish Side Effects? I don’t have any I want done right now, but if it’s possible, I probably will in the future. Also, I know they sell silver SE’s but I mean other colored ones.

Yep. They are fairly easy for me to polish.

Cool! I’m planning on getting a Cascade soon, along with a few sets of SE’s. I already have a Kitteh Code 2. I will probably want send you some Side Effects to polish for me. How much do you charge for that? PM me if you don’t want to post in the thread.

Side effects I would polish for 1$ a pair plus shipping lol.

Domes work best. Very good looking.

I LOVE polishing round throws! They sure do shine! Will probably get this powder coated by mullicabob!

This will probably be my last polish for someone else until this summer. School has started again, and I just don’t have enough time. So might as well end with an awesome polish job on an awesome yoyo!

I love how the skywalker looks. Nice and curvy. Good work as always.

Not to post in your thread, but the reflection on the left half at glance looked like somebody chilling on a couch. Extremely nice work.

:smiley: found you lol

Football season is over and I have a ton of time to polish again! Send me a pm if you’re interested! Here’s a few I did in my spare time!
