Lazy way to polish a fuel rail, Whatcha think? Here are a couple of updated pics of intake with fuel rail. I didn't polish it (fuel rail) I decided to experiment with some chrome paint. Yeah I know not the best way in the world but it turned out nice. I used High temp engine primer and then sprayed with chrome paint then used high temp clear engine paint with ceramic. The intake is polished I didn't spray that. As you can see the sprayed fuel rail and the polished intake is almost an exact match.
There are some more Pics further down the page.

Thanks Man, Yeah I know what you mean. I have dealt with some chrome paint before when I was a kid, when we used to paint our bikes and it was always like a flat silver cheap alumium foil look. A buddy of mine told me about this paint so I said what the hell. Now well see if it holds up under the hood. Hopefully the heat from the engine will bake it on.

Here are a couple more up close pic's this is as about as close as I can get with my digi to get the whole thing in the pic. Notice I made a smudge with my thumb on the ls series cover plate to show detail.
