u can do yourself with various grades of wet and dry and polishing mops but its easier to get a metal polishers to do it, would cost about 60 quid

 

[MikeyK18]

you know what places can do it??

 

[makavelli]

not in NI, most the lads around the midlands had it done at impact metal polishers in notts

best thing to do it look for metal polishers on yell.com

do it yaself... me and me bro did it on my ex's 182... just wet and dry from 400 to 2000grit, and finish with a decent metal polish. then spray the renault sport bit black, and sand back with a block for the polished lettering.
finally we got engine cover sprayed graphite, looked pretty good, i'm sure it hasn't aged very well now however, as the little car is abused and unloved the last i heard

you can do it yourself as im doing my spare set at the moment..but it isnt an easy job to do,if id have known what a pain it was i wouldnt have bothered and taken it to a metal polishers

economies of scale lol, give it to someone to do and spend the day getting paid for something your good at!

 

[fast5]

true, but you'll never get any satisfaction being a chequebook tuner

I did both mine and trevs mate, might have a polished fuel rail guard floating about the garage at ma's if your interested. Other than that try ej polishing... have a sponsored listing on RMS

 

[MikeyK18]

Has anyone polished the entire engine, block, cylinder head, gearbox etc?
