Painted Supercharger Cover Thread

[crestima]

I know I am resurrecting an older thread, but how did you guys "brush" the V6 so that it shows silver? I hate that it's black and I want it to match the LOTUS above it..

Thanks

I’m guessing you just sand it?

Yes, but I preferred to go the manual route. I have an electric sander, as well as a dremel, but I just preferred to be more precise and be on the safe side by not running the risk of over sanding or acidentally chipping any other part of the supercharger cover. I purchased this kit below on Amazon which worked perfectly because of its small sander tool and the variety of grits. Started with wet 800 and finished it off with 1500.
