Finished polishing my turbo

Just got done polishing my new single turbo. Garrett GT35R .7AR. Not sure about the exhaust housing thought. It's pretty rough. Anyone had any experience ceramic coating the exhaust housing?

From what I've heard, ceramic coating helps keep heat inside the turbo rather than being released into the engine bay. You might as well have it done while the turbo is off the car.
What's with all the scratching on the compressor backing plate?

You know, I'm not sure. It was like that when I took it apart. I bought it brand new from the RX7store. I don't think it'll hurt anything. At least I hope it won't.

JET-HOT coating works great. You can't polish it.. It just rusts (steel).
