Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts
I take it you've never polished metal before? :th_shakinghead1:
The pics above are some polished some chrome plated. If i'm not mistaken
the steel parts are chrome, the aluminum polished. If you polished a supercharger by hand i would guess it would take around 50-60 hours to do:eek:
Best off paying for a metal finishing co. to do it.
I wouldn't polish the steel cross bars or engine mounts as they will need touch up almost dailey!
Good luck and post some pics of your work.
Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts

Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts

Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts
yea but when i get my new compressor I may have to try it out maybe start with the exhaust trumpets lmao and work my way up to the trans case
Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts
Has anyone else used this method for polishing? I'm thinking I may try it out on the cross braces and dog bones...
Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts
when it gets warm out I'm going to try and polish some stuff under the hood.
Re: HOW TO: Hand polish engine parts
If you have never tried to polish anything before be ready to do some work when i seen how good the exhaust tips look i decied to do it and about $80 later i have nice looking tips. It cost me so much because i got sick of hand polishing and said f this and got a dremel witch was worth it but like i said be ready for some work and its messy and the aluminum really stinks.
