so far with 1.5 hours into polishing this plenum for the first time, it looks like this:

[after 1 hour]


[after 1.5 hours]-basically 90% of the casting and grit are gone... its almost allll smooth. and soft.


for anyone who has done it or knows how, any tips? after iget all the casting off, do u suggest i high speed buff it or high speed sand it with a high grit?

 

I always wondered why noone has a white engine bay. Like not just any kinda white "Ricer White", you know the white that attracts attention by everyone not the weaksauce yellowish white, I'm talkin Rice White. Wait till ya'll see my car at HIN.

Get with the program b!tches!

 

ask Juan how long it took him to polish his plenum, LOL! Good Luuuuck!

 

Damn shinny nice work so far. Keep it up, ill swing by the shop and check it out sometime.

 

mine! All mine!

 

is that the stock plenum?

 

Wet sand 600,800 then 1000 by hand ,if you think you have it looking good then hit it with white rouge with the high speed polishing wheel and a final
with a good metal polish **hint I use never dull (crappy polish) to get all the
black smudge's from the wheel**

 

ethan: haha. is it? really? cuz i think eric already called dibs on it. :-P

herrz- yea stock

ricky- come by im hella bored.

nizzzmo - thanks man.. should i just use soap and water? ive heard people using other things but ive never really wet sanded before.

 

well in that case... i'll be dropping mine off to you later tonight that looks GOOD!

 

wow your braver thn i am man ill pay ya 300 to do mine lol

 

how did you even start that?

 

If you wet sand it the key to preping the aluminum ,it will look waaay cleaner more like chrome. The wet sand gets all the inperfections out

 

HAHA... Eric is out there in boonisville. What's he gonna do about DIBS?

MINEEEE!! ALL MINEEE!!

 

eric has dips onjust bout every thing these days

 

lol.. hey brandon, if this turns out as good as i hope it will, ill take u up on that offer.

 

LOL you had better ask eric botu that first lol yea illpay you that cuz i know how big of a pain in the ash polishin can be trust me i know

 

hahah., this one is going to ethan since he let me use it. but hes giving me his stock plenum after i finish this one.

 

Well how about this.. whoever can get to shinnys shop the fastest 2morrow wins the plenum. I live 2 mins away from the shop so I win.

 

I like gold, I have a stock plenum for $50 if anyone wants it.
