if your not going to go all the way and polish it to high gloss,

then just spray can it with some aluminum paint

True say..

I polished my water pump housing, I wasn't pleased with the spots I didn't do in high grit. I figured it would have turned out better if I just aluminum high temp sprayed it or something.

id love to get a mirror shine like that, just gunna take a little work, but toally worth it. THink I'm gunna order up a lim gasket and do the lim too. Do you have to take the turbo off to get th lim off? looks like i might be able to pull it out, but its tight down there.
