Grab some silver paint and a clear coat. Paint a few enven coats with the silver and lightly sand it with 600. Then spray a few coats of clear and wait a day for some of the solvents to escape. Then hit it with some 1500 with a rubber sanding pad. Wet sand it with light even pressure and rinse the paper frequenlty. Next, get some light rubbing compound and buff it to a shine and follow it up with a finer polishing compound until it shines to your content.
I'm sure he was pulling our legs and it was funny.

 

Yeah... thats it! He was just kidding

 

yea yea I fucked up, I was wondering why the hell it didnt feel like metal and didnt start to shine? Anyways how much is a Greddy elbow that is the same size as stock?

Mike

 

now that you have the stock elbow all smooth, why not paint it w/ good silver/chrome paint? The paint should take to the plastic.

 

C'mon now, cut the dude some slack. He just turned 18 earlier this month, and he is still probably drunk from his party or something. I think I might be a little delirious if I onwed a modded FD when I was 18. In fact, I would probably be dead.

Keep your head up kid! Just try to think twice before you post up some hilarious **** like that. LOL. And just in case you are curious, those guys with shiney tires do not sand & polish them, they simply use Armour All.

Good luck!

 

greddy elbow is cheapest at the rx7store for $115 I believe. I just ordered mine and should be here today or tomorrow

 

I got the Greddy elbow, so there wont be any POS in my engine bay now. I think I was perty messed up when I tried polishing that piece, I got in a bad car accident so I havet tons O pain killers. ANyway I had polished everything in the engine so I figured why not the elbow. So yea I fucked up an got flamed, o well.

Mike

 

too funny

 

Dont sweat it, we all do pretty dumb **** every once in awhile. Its just that none of the guys laughing care to share their idiocies.

 

sorry man.

 

Second engine i rebuilt. i pushed my car around the block three (3) time before i realised i needed to put rotar in ....... LOL.. thank for the mammaries..Carter

 

Oh boy with the way things are going at work today I really needed this Thanks dude! But yeah, since you have the stocker nice and smooth you should go out and buy some silver/chrome brake caliper paint and bling bling that bad boy up...

Hey, just for ***** and grins, post a pic of the elbow you polished

 

the stock elbow is ceramic

 

Geeeez..man..you didnt know the elbow is plastic....i dont know if you should be tinkering w/your car...perhaps slack up on the smoking..lol

 

Wow, 8 months since the thread died and someone else brings it back from the dead just to rip on the poor guy!

 

hehe, that pertty funny. i probablly would of tried that, if i had not read this thread. if your just looking at it, it looks like its metal. the 93's are diffrent than the 94 & 95's. 93's have a silver color to them, and i think they are cerimac. 94-95's are black plastic.

 

 

 

And now he gets to be embarassed all over again.
