Hey, I finished polishing my rocker cover today...thought I'd show ya's....goes well with the timing cover that i did before....

Looks good dude... how many hours of sanding did that take you?

about 2-3 days.....its a good material under the paint so it didnt take as long as I thought it would

Hmmmm i cant see it for some reason

yeah the pics went down for a bit...there all good now

I took some more pics..... This is the manifold I will be putting on soon...still a bit ore to do...so far its been ported and I am going to shine up soome bits... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

**** thats shiny!

**** i wish i had the patience to do that

hmmm my rocker cover is calln ya, lol u want to do my cover? hahaha ill do it as soon as i get my new motor in

yeah sure....lol....there not to hard to do....if you havent scatched them then under the paint it should be almost perfect, I started with 240 and worked my way to 2000...then some autosole to give it the nice shinny finish....

can you pm me the full process you went through to get that finish? Im gonna do my cooler piping.

That inlet manifold looks beautiful. For once I will praise you with a job well done.

I'll post the process here...it�s not that hard... Get some paint stripper (I used the spray on stuff from supercheap) and spray it on and remove all the paint. Then start with either 180 grit or 240 grit depending on how good your surface is to start with. I use wet and dry. move through all the different grits until your reach 2000....make sure that the only scratches you can see are the ones you are leaving with the grit your on before you move to the next grit. Once you�re happy with the surface and it has a good reflection, using Autosole (also from supercheap) give it a polish. The best method I have found for this is to put it on in a small amount first and rub it in really well...then buff off.....now do it again but with more polish and rub it well and buff again. If someone knows of a good clear coating that can withstand high temps I would love to know about it....that would give it some more protection.

Bloody beaut moite!

haha, oh its paint? I'll be curious to see it in a few months time But ya can't say no to a mate doing it for nothing. I think I should get motivated and do mine one day. Those wire brushes on the end of drills, Magic is all I can say. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah its paint....tried to sand that but after a few days of getting no where i decided to just clean it up real good and paint it (my mate took the liberty of doing that for me)....to get it polished it might need to go to a shop.....those dents in it are very deep....it would take a very long time to get out fully by hand...

Did you do the manifold by hand to?. Looks real nice man

I did the rocker cover by hand.....the maifold is cleaned with a drill and painted
