Life's expensive! ! Come on kid do it for $100

That's the problem with any custom work, the person doing the work has to make it worth their while as well. Considering the amount of time it takes plus materials $150 isn't the least bit unreasonable.
thank you, doing a full dual suspension mountain bike frame is very time consuming, I'll probably spend 2 weeks on it so $150 is actually a pretty good deal

Yeah but your skill set is very limited. Polishing is about the only thing you are qualified to do. I mean kids your age in 3rd world countries do manual labor like this and don't complain much. What kind of expenses are you running nowadays? $100 is more that worth it. You aren't going to work 80 hours on this during the two weeks.

as I mentioned before, I have done many motorcycle frames including my own and have done many forks and bars (bmx) this includes stripping and painting/clear coating
I am qualified to do this job and $150 is not unreasonable for over 15 hours of work

LOL! 150 for rawing a Frame, are you joking me? You can get a Shop to sand blast it for cheaper than that.
sandblasting would destroy the aluminum

ur right on that, but soda blasting is the best..im sure u could find someone who does it..its cheap to..about 25$..
