Default Polishing Valve Covers

Thought it might make under the hood look a little shinier (sp?) how would i go about taking the coils etc off so i could polish 'em?
Would you sand 'em down with 400/800 and then do it?
Just an idea...

thanks for the link
they look good,
i really wish i would have thought about them and taken them off today since i'm sick and just sittin around the house.....

so just to summarize, i wont need any gaskets, and wont have to buy anything new? also will i need to have a torque wrench to get the covers or anything else back on right?
