Default Polished a couple of covers fro the 418

I used a brass wire wheel on a drill to polish up a couple of covers to get rid of the nasty grey finish of them and I believe they turned out pretty good IMO. I got the idea from KANO

Not when you can do this for free

I am going to powder coat my ac bracket and ps bracket but not yet. This only takes a little time to do and the more you work on it the better they look. Plus it looks better than normal powder coat IMO.
