Chris AME Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sand paper, metal polish and elbow grease and a few hours of my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted June 2, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRH 350Z Posted June 3, 2012 Share 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?

Chris AME Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
