Polished cold parts... I have a custom turbo kit and I want the cold parts polished, but that is the problem. If it was aluminum I would do it myself with sanding etc. but the tubing is made from 304 stainless does anyone know how to polish this or know of anyone that would be able to polish it? I have searched and found nothing I tried the appearence thread but no one really said anything so I figured the FI guys would know.

Stainless is alot harder to polish then aluminum. It can be done at home in a garage with a bench grinder and some buffing wheels. The results won't be the same as aluminum. I have done alot of stainless, it takes time and requires pretty heavy duty equipment.

I am guessing you are a polisher? I have used a bench grinder as you said on other things to polish them. What type of polish would I use for stainless?

Finished one of the two. I like the stainless over aluminum, a little harder to polish but seems to last forever, doesn't oxidize and is hard to scratch.
that is amazing, can't wait to see them in person
