Default help with throttle body

what would be the easiest way and best looking to do with the throttle body,polishing looks like it would be a waste of time,the casting is kind of crappy and it doesnt want to shine that well,but i have been poilsing and painting the engine bay for about three weeks now to be in many shows so i think that a spray bomb would look cheap,any suggestions would be great,thanks in advance

it will shine up well, if you take the time on it.

powdercoating is always good.

I was going to powdercoat mine, but i hit it with the buffing wheel, and it came out looking good (top only) I need to work on the rest of it

Default Powder coat oven

Check this out....looks like the size I need for the parts I want to do. Even big enough for brake rotors.

Saw one at Harbor Freight this weekend.
