I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Well it's actually not polished it's a technique that's called "hoogglans verdichten" . (Dutch)
The product you'd want is put into a box and then left in there for 24h. In this time some kind of metal balls keep bouncing on the object and something else to make it shining.
The valvecovers of mine are just blue. Not polished.
It's not an option to polish it like this because it's simply to expensive.
The part of intake manifold of the engine of your car Black mx-3 looks good after you polished the manifold. I think since you had used one bright color , one light color other than Grey like light brown may look good to identify the valves when we see .
Would anybody be able to elaborate on the process used to polish the IM/VCs in the first picture? I did read the entire thread, and saw the brief mention of metal balls being bounced against the metal, however I would like to know more specifics... Would it be as simple a design as a rock polisher? Or much more complex? Thanks for anybody who has the time and can answer a few questions.
The part is placed in a bin filled with steel burnishing particles of many differnt shapes. The bin then vibrates the little steel balls which rub on the part and burnish it. I don't know of anyone in my city that has this equipment, but someone might. It's common in the jewelery industry.

I wanted to polish my intake like that too but found out that powder coating has a bright silver you can use that just about mimicks the polished effect,,,,then the guy here went out of business.

Yes, that's the device.
In the Netherlands we only have 2 companies who are able of doing this. (although my country is quit small though)
