Default Polished Throttle Body

Has anyone taken on this ridiculous task? I had the bright idea of polishing my throttle body to spruce up the engine bay a bit. My god this thing sucks to polish. So intricate and detailed.

Anyone done there's with some pics? Maybe some motivation to keep me going rather than just going to get it powder coated.

I'd be embarrassed if I didn't have anything better or more interesting to do than polish the throttle body on my Z. I have difficulty getting around to washing the car, let alone polishing it, but I sure do enjoy driving it.

You do realize that this is a car forum for enthusiasts? Embarrassed?
