Lim/uim :) :) :)
I finally got my UIM/LIM back from A-1 Sandblasting, they actually did an awesome job on the manifolds. 
I actually love the way they look.
I should of taken pictures of them before.
Well see for yourself

It actually didn't cost me a thing. My brother in Law works there and he did the work himself. They did seal the runners very good but I will blow any grit off with the my compressor.

It was actually sandblasting and another step called Glass beading which actually gives it that smoother and shinnier look to it.
I will try to get some closer shots of the manifolds. But I love the way they turned out. Powdercoating would look nice too.
Do you have any pics of your manifold??
This process would cost around $50-$60 bucks.
