try getting the manifold clear anodized, the final appearance looks like magnesium - a light gray.

Subject: 	aluminum intake cosmetics


Sorry about the non-EFI question but it's sort of related. I need some advice
on how to best preserve the good looks of a freshly glass beaded intake
manifold.  Alot of people are saying stay away from clear coat as it will
chip and flake off, supposedly it doesn't stick well to aluminum.  (?)
I've also been told about powder coating but was wondering if there were
any pros or cons to that too?

Should I just leave it alone?  Polishing would be ideal but I
refuse to spend a couple $100 over cosmetics (spend a whole day doing it
myself is ok however).
As usual any and all advice is much appreciated.
cheers,
jw

P.S. If anybody can give me any tips on how to polish in the tight areas
of an intake then I might try my hand at it.  I assume I need I die
grinder (will a dremmel drill do?) but don't know what I need for buffing
pads or where to get them.
