Default Have it powder coated instead if you have to do something. If you polish it
it will not be a one time thing.

silver is better than black. black would tend to draw heat.

Default I THINK they can powdercoat clear. If that's the case,polish and have clear powdercoated.
Be a good time to install the EVO phenolic intake manifold spacer.
