Well I'm going to be installing my bare-cast Trick flow Street soon, and I was wondering what it would take to polish it, or if it could be reasonably done.

Is it as easy as sanding and polishing? Can I damage it? No experience in this dept. Thanks.


...I guess this is tech?

I did my Performer intake, which was my first polishing job. It turned out really good, but it takes A LOT of time. I probably have about 40 hours into just the upper. You can't really damage it from a performance stand point, but if you start and don't finish, it might look bad.

I think thats enough to scare me away from considering it lol. If it takes EVEN CLOSE to 40 hours, there's no way in hell.

I'm having enough trouble just finding a day to install the intake, let alone a week-long polish job.
