hi guys mt intercooler cross over pipe is painted black thats how i bought the car but i want to take the paint off and shine up the pipes any ideas on how to do that and what the best thing i could use.

wire brush and a sheep skin buffer, it will shine up good as im not sure on the polishing products to use though

wont the wire bush leave marks and scraches

sheepskin buff wont dont sh it. you need a callico buff after some paint stripper. its rough as guts the casting so if you want it shiny youll be there for a month of sundays getting it smooth.

oops. im talking bout the factory cross over pipe being rough

I paint strippered mine (remove clear coat), sanded it with various grades of wet + dry sandpaper. Then loaded a heavy duty polisher disc onto the angle grinder and got stuck into it with Autosol. That was before i got a FMIC of course. You have to have alot of patience though if you want to polish it properly. Mick

Sorry about the ****ty photo quality, picture is heaps old now and taken with a crap camera. Give you a rough idea how it came up anyway. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dont look too bad mick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanxs that looks good enough for me ill give that autosol ago

i just find out that my pipe is steel and someone told me if i take the paint off it will rust is this true that means i have to get it professional chrome?
