    Yeah, I have. In all seriousness, this is the only part I'm planning on having polished. The rest of the underhood is either factory black plastic, or a touch of carbon fiber I have on the coil covers. If I was smart, I'd have this manifold clear powdercoated before I install it!

      I've never tried that before but always wondered if the coating would stick to a polished surface.

        I've never done it either, and supposedly it works like a champ. I've always thought it might yellow or something over time, then you've got a turd on your hands!

          If you want to keep maintenance on that thing down to a minimum might I suggest Eastwoods Shark hide solvent. Its a tough clear coat for polished metals. Apply it in a cool room or it may flash too fast in Texas heat.

          I would have ceramic coated it personally.......wipe that SOB down and have it blingin again
