Heck of a way to take ones eye away from the porosity of those plenums!
polishing is a disease, cant stop at one piece or partway through-

I use a 12volt battery charger , salt and vinegar , and round cotton pads , sticker (corvette logo) and adhesive plotter paper
I cleaned the plenum and put the sticker on , now i put the cotton pad in the mix of the salt and vinergar . Connect the positive wire from the charger on the plenum put the wet cotton pad on the plenum sticker , i take the negative wire and put it on the wet cotton pad for a 20 seconds and look if it‘s deep enough . I repeat this till it‘s fine to me . i cleaned the plenum again and put the foil on and cut out the flames and do the process over again . Now clean and pollish .
I‘m from the Netherlands . I’m working on improving my English .

The plenum may be porous but, certainly with the work of art you created out of it, who cares?? Beautiful work dutch, nicely done!!
