is there a company that sells these for a 22re engine and maybe some other dress up stuff or do i need to have it sent somewhere to get polished? or is it possible to do it myself?

polishing it up would be alot of work, but not really something that takes a ton of brain power. if rather paint mine though.

airbrushing wouldnt stay on polished metal in an engine room very long. paint needs to have a tooth. when metal is polished, its the opposite of that. on mine, i plan to smooth off all the little posts for bolts that i wont be using and then paint it. not sure what color. but i know im going to take 80 grit to the work toyota on the top after to make it bare metal again.
