well i did the TB came out very nice, over all it was pretty easy. i used sanding rolls to work it down first. then 400,800,1000 grit sandpaper and here is the result. now i'm either going to use caliper paint or get it powdercoated later this week.
VERY nice Javier. I'm suprised it came out so good with your bad eye!!! hahah JKJKJK. Do I smell a side job?!? $xx deposit on stock TB- ship stock one back once new ported one is installed.....hmmm 
Talk to you later

Damn! That looks slick! Post some more pics of the setup!
Wire brush + carb cleaner blinged my spring up like a champ.
I've actually found that a fine wirewheel in a diegrinder will produce near polsihed results on aluminum pieces. I've done 2 throttle bodies, my valvecovers, and the MAF ends (outsides) with my die grinder. You've got to throttle the die grinder well or the wires will fly out and stick in your upper lip, I promise....
I bet you could work that intake manifold over in the same fashion, it will bring a nice bling to even semi-rough cast parts.
