metal polishing

[808svt]

I'm looking at maybe getting some things polished on the car like the s/c head unit and the intake. Any places around the Hampton Roads area you guys recommend? I would do it myself but I'm too lazy. LOL

Good call on the lazy! I did the water crossover that came with my Whipple and it took longer to polish that one piece than the entire Whipple install including the gauges and dual pumps. I cant imagine doing the intake.

I hear you. Plus I figure I would have to buy an air compressor and attachments for a die grinder. It's got to be cheaper to have some one else do it.

I dont know of anyone local. Call Royal Silver in Norfolk and ask them they may know. Over at modfords people use this company www.mirrorfinishpolishing.com . He posts a lot of pics over there just do a search.

Silver powdercoat is an alternative to polishing. JTIOT,,,,

Yeah, didn't think of that. I would think powder coat would be easier to maintain also.

I don't know if I would subject the supercharger itself to powder coating though. It has pretty tight clearances inside, and the coupler could be a type of plastic depending upon the blower you have.
