looks great . what did u use on it?

[Diggs59]

I should've said sanded NOT polished but everyone gets the idea. I used Scotch Brite. One pad was really course and came glued to a handle for ease of use. I used it dry and then went wet with it. After that I went with the Green Scotch Brite pads, went wet first and then dry sanded at the end. I'm gonna get'em jet hot coated sometime. Too much work to keep sanding.

to make it easy for you guys try to get the scotchbrite in long strips. You can then clamp the pipe in a vise (gently) and use the strip like a long strip of sand paper. The other way would be to get a scotchbrite wheel for the bench grinder. they are a little expensive but save lots of time.

dang.. didn't even think about a scotchbrite wheel!

hopefully my headers hold up w/ the header paint.. but... goot tip for others and if the time ever comes that I need to do that.
