Default gt40 intake

Hi all, just wondering if anybody out there has polished a gt40 intake. I just got one off of ebay and stripped the paint, now I am wanting to polish the metal. Any help or suggestions would be great. Hopefully this is worth my time and effort I hear really good things about the gt40? Thanks guys!

I tried polishing my intake but I went a different route in the end on my edelbrock, it was tough to get the finish I was looking for

Here is a thread of what I did, but the clear bubbles and I did the Spacer and TB as well afterwards I have pics of the final product if you want them just let me know!

Thanks for the speedy reply, I know it will be alot of work. Stripping the factory coating was an awful job. From Winnipeg, Manitoba........just above North Dakota. Sure lets see your final product!
