varley16 Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 nice, how you manage that? did you have it dipped or metal polish? Quote
Chris AME Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Sand paper, metal polish and elbow grease and a few hours of my time Quote
Gudzy Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Looks I've still got a polished plenum to put on which I'll put in place when I install my plenum spacer. I was lazy and bought a pre-polished one off the forum though. I like the look of the air filter and pipe, is it a custom one? I've currently got a K&N typhoon as I thought the red filter would match my engine bay but it's hidden behind a cover Quote

MRH 350Z Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Looks good. I think I'll copy this. At the risk of sounding a little slow... Can you give a little more information on your method; what kind of sand paper, how much sanding and can you recommend a metal polish? Quote
Chris AME Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 Start out with a course sandpaper to remove imperfections and smooth the plenum the move too less course grades of paper all the way to 1500/2000 grit paper then polish with autosol or equivalent, I quite like the meguires nxt gen stuff Quote
