I have just started this, I have gone over it with 120 & 220 grit for about an hour each, I still have to use up to 1500grit/use the steel wool/and buff it..

How to polish metal

 

Here is a before pic, nasty huh? I just ripped off my turbo and LIM tonight to start polishing those also... and port my wg...

 

that is looking good bro.

 

thxs, just about to start my lim right now, it looks like a biatch tho !

 

looking nice man

 

Yeah mine looked like crap before, I hit it with a wire brush and sprayed it down with metallic silver paint, looks better than before .

You have a slick engine bay revvin, love it.

 

Yeah I think I am going to change over to using an pwr sander, because its really time consuming using my hands. thxs for the compliment suds, I wish I would have known that just sandpaper would do this, I would have done it to everything a while ago...

 

nice work done

 

Nice work man. I must ask though, is that real carbon fiber on that radiator shroud? If so where the crap did you get that?

 

fc3s.org, yeah it's real

 

www.fc3s.org

you can get a bunch of different CF stuff there. its only 90 dollars.

 

Yeah I got it from mazdaspeed from way back in the day.

 

just a hint:
if you bead blast your intake first it will save you a lot of time! Hell, after I blasted mine, I decided to just leave it.
Looks good.

 

Yea I was about to try that to my LIM today, maybe I will try that tommorrow and see how that goes... After I repair my fried haltech wiring harness ...

 

keep us updated with pics
