Polishing my SC

Well im still on the 100grit, this is the first of many layers of sanding. Im going to go to 2000 grit. I still have a lot of work but i think it looks good so far.

getting there.. i'd like to try doing mine but can't afford the downtime it would take right now plus i've never polished anything yet.
Are our spark plugs covers polishable too? that'd be a good place to start for me i think.

Im not sure, i could powercoat a clear layer on there, but the power wont stick as well as it could since it will be so slick.

This is so funny to me...mind you all I am a bit intoxicated...regardless this is a bit funny to me because after a nice hard northern NY winter it looks like someone poured a few buckets of sand/salt in my engine bay. All I care about is getting the winter tires off and RT-615's on, 60 pounders in, and HP tuned while you are worrying about how "polished" your supercharger is So sorry about the negativity!
