How much does he charge for that amount of work?
It is a lung killing bit of filthy work, best done outside where you can sweep away the area and breeze will take away some of it, and your car cannot be near or it will have some of the abrasive fall out.
I've do e it and it is addictive when you get going. Fortunately I do not mind sanding and the repetitive stuff leaves you time to think about other stuff or while listening to a podcast or music or anything you can have divided attention...
Dual processing if you will...
You can buy abrasive cords for areas that have a circumference a d I have some rolls of sandpaper of various grits used for wood turning I use on parts that have rounded sections when I can put the sandpaper around the part. You have to sand in so many directions to remove scrapes and scars and scratches. The fine sanding sponges at harbor freight if they still carry them can help as well.
Once you get it down to the higher grades wet sanding the parts can be used to start bringing it back to a luster, by then you are hours into a part that has plenty of scars and scratches and you are tired. Your hands are black and beneath your nails are coated...you have to use old toothbrush or nail brushes to get your hands clean and you end up stripping the oils from your skin and have to use lotion to prevent dry skin cracks if winter or her in the desert you use it to do the same. May is our driest month of the year, unlikely to see any rain. Ideal for paint work were it not for the blowing dust.
Well, gotta get the motorcycle back on the road today/tonight, bolt check and a few bolt on add-on upgrades to add. Finish cleaning the tank out and reassemble and lube the chain, air up the tires, mirror extensions, handlebar risers, aluminum rear rack plate, and need to reinstall the skid plate, had it off for oil change and cleaning.
