Aza ... You are a God ... Love it ... I can imagine it is a lot of work, but really makes an engine bay stand out ... If only I had the patience to do mine ... lol ...

^^ ive been doing mine on and off again for about 5 weeks... Its starting to look sweet.... When u get past all the dirt and the intake looks more like machined metal it gets you all excited and you wont be impatient anymore.

Hey aza great work yet again. It actually looks better then your own, dare i say how long did it take? And what did you use to cover up the leters for painting... Ill be up to painting mine in about a week or two

thanks all

Jay I used tape covered it over and then cut around the letters and yes it did come out better than my one but the more you do of then the better they get

I used 80 grit to 1500 wet and dry the polished with brite shine and autosol metal polish buffing pad and drill to work the polish right in to it, and then buff off with a wool cloth job done

I also have a sand blaster unit to help me along to get all the harder sh*t off but you still need to go from step one to ten

Hi all. Was thinking of doing this myself when I get 50 hours free , but just had a quick question. Once its done, will it corrode again, or do you need to do anything to keep it lookin that polished? Do you need to apply a laquar or something?

all you need to do is maybe every 6 months give it a quick go over with polish nd thats it.
the way it looks when it comes out of the factory is due the the way its casted then over time all the sh*t gets into the divets and make it look like its being eaten away.
