3rd Gen FaQ



You can see the section that is unpolished, how nasty it is..., I have only just begun this, I have went over it with 120 and 220 grit sandpaper for about an hour each.. Can't wait to have it blinging, I just ripped off my turbo and lim for polishing tonight too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

looks good next you can polish my stuff.

Nice scoop! Is it a type aRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?

read the 50+ hp sticker"POWER"!



Polishing takes time and patience, I wouldn't do anyone else's.....

I hope it comes out nice and shiny for you.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif Looks good so far.

Take the 220 a bit further, once you are happy with where you are at move on to 320.

Then take out all the scratch marks from the 220 with the 320. etc etc..

You can always go back a grit if you missed a spot that you want to catch.

ps save your fingertips and use a palm sander. Costs about $40 form Home depot. Then use a pnuematic rotary tool with conical sanders for the crevases. Rotary tool will run you about $25.

Nah i was just kidding anyway. I have most the stuff to do it to my car right now i just havent felt like pulling everything apart yet to do it plus I got too many other things to work on right now.

ok thanks, yea I have both of those I will give them a try, instead of using my hands https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Looks good. When I did mine, I took the easy route, and just hit it with a wire wheel. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bling.gif

Yeah, I used a wire wheel and then shot it with a high temp clear coat. It took maybe 15 minutes with the clear coat and it looks pretty nice too.

Cool.. Mine looked like that.. now I gotta start sanding with a finer grit..

Hey ILUVMY88CABRIO





when you say wire wheel, are you refering to the wheels on a buffer?

On grinders sometimes they have a wheel with wires instead of the grinding rock thing. You can also get them for drills. I used a pneumatic rotary tool with a wire brush about an inch in diameter to get the areas that would normally be hard to get with the bigger wire wheels.

so where are all the pics?

what kinda clear coat did u use????????/

Well, I have a wire wheel in my bench grinder, 2 diff. styles for my drill (one cup, one wheel), and 2 diff. styles for my rotary tool (one cup, one wheel).

Nice.That scoop in the first two pics better not be on your 7.Thats the most ghetto scoop yet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png

not to bad, once i get my new car and start having some time on my hands i am going to start polishing things. so here in about a month or so if you want something polished let me know.
