I have stripped the paint off of mine. If you started with what I have now, you must have put some big time hours into them!
this 1 cover took me almost 4 hours to do. i sanded it outside,and the wind threw all the dust on my girlfriend's white Acura it looked like Mt St Helens erupted on it,and my particle mask is black i used a 34 grit disc to get the coating off then i sanded with: 40 grit 60 grit 100 grit 120 grit 150 grit 220 grit 240 grit 400 grit 600 grit 800 grit
I have a set of black covers but really like the polished look. Are you interested in doing this on others? (Assuming your girlfriend hasn't killed you for messing up her Acura. :grin: ) Also, do you intend to use any sort of clear coating to avoid tarnishing, etc?
i charge $120 to polish these covers,since they are sand cast i don't put any coating on them. i forgot to add if the covers sell here,i donate $10 to V8Buick.com <img src="http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7262/picture1155.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/>By <a target="_new" href="http://profile.imageshack.us/user/valvecover">valvecover</a> at 2012-03-17 <img src="http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6743/picture1156h.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/>By <a target="_new" href="http://profile.imageshack.us/user/valvecover">valvecover</a> at 2012-03-17 <img src="http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3296/picture1158.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br/>By <a target="_new" href="http://profile.imageshack.us/user/valvecover">valvecover</a> at 2012-03-17
