Hi all, Ime looking to polish up the "Renault Sport" lettering on the engine, just wondering which sandpaper to use to get a shine on this?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Robbo's on here just done the same to his.. painted the plenum and sanded down the lettering using a sanding sponge from Halfrauds.. not sure what grit mind, but I would assume as fine as possible..

I did mine a while back, I sanded down from 400 grit using Autosol, all the way upto 1200 then used a polishing kit to buff up the lettering

I'd advise getting some Autosol also.. this helps to keep it 'lubed' so to speak, it also helps clean up the metal while sanding.. Good luck mate.. Plans for painting the plenum?

Edit.. Robbos work.. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=502727
