I did mine up. Took apart the alternator and glass-beaded it/cleared it. A/C there's not much you can do, I scotch brighted the fittings on it back to aluminum colour and cleared them and then scotch brighted the A/C unit to scuff it up and painted it semi-gloss black w/ tremclad. Turned out nice actually. I think it looks better black then it would aluminum or steel w/e they're made of, alluminum im assuming, adds some contrast to my engine.

Get a fine wire brush that attaches to the end of a drill and wire brush it. the aluminium will go almost like chrome. Then with a buffing wheel on the end of the same drill buff it out and it'll look like a million bucks. you don't even have to take the parts off.

+1 It will look very good if you do that but its pretty time consuming though... Also, I wouldnt recomment doing it on the car... you mind as well take it off if your going to do it right.

Thanks for the advice.... my aluminium parts look nasty too.
