I have my Sullivan Upper and Lower powder Coated black but being that it doesn't really get appreciated for being a 5.4 I'm thinking of stripping it down and trying a mirror polish since I rather not do chrome. Assuming I probably need a machine for the polishing...because I'm sure by hand will be very time consuming...any input.
Removing Powder Coated Intake to mirror polish?

Have fun stripping that powdercoat off!
Aircraft remover will have 0 issues taking off powder coat very fast. It's the polishing part that's my concern since the metal isn't all that smooth. So I'm thinking its needing a machine job to get what I want out of it.
Yea even a dremel would take some time but allow you to be really precise. I thought powdercoat could only be removed with heavy amounts of media blasting.
No. I've used aircraft remover before. It's Serious shit plain and simple to Sum it up. Now that I think about I will just go with my original plan of doing a high heat/polished ceramic coat. This way I can have the look but be functional at the same time and just do my turbos as well. Less work for me but more money to spend. I should just sell it for a GT500 lol...
Be sure to post before and afters, curious to see the results!
