Heres the blower before

The Supplies...To start with

Heres the half that hasnt been touched yet

After we started getting the roughness off the blower,you can already see the difference in a couple of spots

After a little more sanding with rough then going to a smoother grit

After lots of sanding and polishing with the metal gloss and sealer

And another shot


Thats the progress so far on the blower,that was only about 25 minutes of work and a smoke break

Update!!!

I worked on the blower some more today, got some more of the roughness off, its starting to smoot out real nice, i still have the snout to do, going to take some dremel action to it tonight, and buff the living **** out of it, im really liking the turnout of it even though i didnt take it off the car

Enjoy


Starting to shine






The areas circled here are the pain in the ass spots

I think this is gonna do it for the actual housing, i like how looks now, not completely polished, gives it some character

Bling!


Im very proud of how it has turned out, all thats left to do is the snout

in the first post of pictures is the 3m sanding blocks, they are like foam blocks with different grit sandpaper on them, and they work excellent! I also used a metal grinding wheelie to smooth it down too, to buff i used mothers power ball and polish to buff it out, and then the metal gloss and sealer gloss to finish it off
