Default alloy polishing, is there much of a demand for it???

loads of the lads are sad bufty fookas and are always sending there stuff off for chroming /anodising/powder coating etc and in particular POLISHING OF THE ALLOY PARTS ( plenum,alternater etc etc) they get charged a fortune for this and i was talkin to my mate about it ,seeing as i am able to do it exactly the same as these companys except without the 8 week waiting i was wondering if its worth considering doing it on the side, do you reckon theres much call for it or is it just my mates being gay??? also sand blasting items, waddya think
