Howieb4:

I would recommend taking it to one of the many polishing shops in the Metro Detroit area. They have the equipment and know-how. PM me and I can give you the name of the guy that did mine. I even gave one of my covers to an importer to see if was practical to get them polished in India - it wasn't.

Yes, that's right - before I moved to the dark side (powdercoating that is) I ran with polished covers. But since I use my Alfas as daily drivers it took no time for the cover to tarnish. I am way too lazy for that.

I have never tried it but I am curious if a clear coat powdercoat would be a practical compromise. I would imagine it would take perfect prep work and an A*** retentive mindset to protect it from scratches but powdercoating is pretty amazing stuff when done correctly. Maybe we could get Bill77 to try it
