HPOP Reservoir

Here's where I'm at. Only on second stage. 24 grit 3" sanding disc and Scotch Brite 2" coarse gasket remover.

That is looking good. As long as you keep away from the mounting surface and edges it shoudl be GTG. The second pic really shows off what you got done from the first. A few more passes and you should be able to shave by it.

Thanks Tarm. Well I'm wondering how long will the shine last,or should I paint it.

Could you hit with some type of clear to protect it or something along those lines?

:whs: use a high temp clear enamel. That will keep it from oxidizing for a good while.

Is the clear going to work with all the oil that soakes into the metal over the years? I personally think you would have trouble after polishing also. If it does work let me know.

Thanks Guys. Still needs a liitle more work. I'm wondering how long the shine will last though.

Well Tom S is running a polished one and you could likely eat off just about any part of his truck from the pics I have seen of it.

Tom,

what kind of maintenance have you found to be needed to keep the hi glossy polish look on the HPOP? What about any other parts you may have polished up?

You polish that anymore and you're gonna need some torching goggles to pop the hood in the sunLOL

Holey chit. Great job Homesteader :toast:

Tom S...your HPOP reservoir is now nasty and needs improvement :gun:

Mine...well..it holds oil

...aerated oil I think...to be specific. :fustrate:

I am not not worthy. :jawdrop: It stays shiny pretty good. A little metal polish and it shines up again by hand.

Looks killer! You can have it clear powder coated so you dont have the maintanance. Plus the PC is chemical resistant.

Homesteader · Sep 23, 2011

Thanks guys,I think it will be alot of change to get PC last I check to get my oil pan PC,there price starts from 250.00 doesnt matter how small it is. I still have time to think about it.

You could ship it to me, I could get it powder'd, and shipped back for less than $100... It must be because of the Aloha factor...
