About a month ago I started to polish my vc and turbo but shortly gave up after there were some deep scratches that wouldn't come out so I decided to paint it and it didn't turn out as planned. So last night while Captain_Obvious and I where having a few beers :cheers: decided I would give it another shot

When I first started a month or so ago

then to some paint

after last night still have many more steps to go but a lot of those deep scratches are slowly vanishing

Sanded the turbo but didn't spend alot of time because there are some really deep pits that i can live with, then buffed it haven't added polish yet but here's a quick pic. Valve cover pics coming soon
