To polish... or not to polish?

[300Plus]

What do you guys think. I've got this shiny ars intake mani and I'm thinking of having a budy polish the valve covers. I like the idea of powder coating but can't afford at the moment so its either.

(A) paint them myself with something off the shelf (B) polish them for 50 bucks(C) wait and powder coat later

Insert answer below lol

polish or powdercoat... but whatever you do, don't use off the shelf paint. Spray cans suck.

if you polish it is going to be harder to take care of down the road.. i say powder coat it both of them for that matter .. less maintince

Wait and powdercoat.

and I take offense to paint looking like crap, you can make it look great if u take enough time and have some skills

No but thanks for noticing. I have never seen it done before either. I wanted to stand out. But at the moment I'm leaning towards polishing? more opinions needed

what about polishing it then having a clear powdercoat job done later?

poweder coating is cheap, i got my valve covers and timing covers done for 30$ total.

That is a NateCo. serial # RB25001. Thanks to RBtally!

He is working on a rb20 mani now. He'll keep everyone posted.

But I just dropped the valve covers off at a friends to get polished up so I'll let you guy see the pics when i get back in town tuesday.
