Default intake bling

quick question looking to get my intake manifold nice and shiny when i remove it for porting. saw some nice pieces on another lt1 website . wondering should i get the thing polished or had the idea of ceramic coating for the heat soak \. what do you pros think. which will require less maintainance.

I've actually got an LT1 intake manifold in progress (polishing) as we speak. I'd be more than happy to set you up with it once it's complete. PM me if you're interested.


Here's some of my past work for reference:

Even though it looks good it would seem that would be one big gold plated pain in the *** to keep clean. Especially living in an area with a lot of humidity.

Fury you have a PM.
And what I meant to say in the PM is that the valve covers I have look about like the MAF did before your work.
