steel charge pipes

not sure if its the correct forum, but I just finished all my charge pipes made of mild steel, and I want to polish the upper pipes, what the best way to do this to make it look bling bling?

I was using my cai prior to this setup.

Sorry guy you can't polish mild steel. Even if you get it shiny with sand paper it wont stay, it will turn gray and then rust.

Re:steel charge pipes

I have a half can of high temp silicone silver spray that used on the ssautoshit mani, I will use that on the upper charge pipe, the lower oner are painted with DEI high temp black which I also wrapping in exhaust wrap, not wrapping the upper for cosnmetic reasons.

just a thought, I'm now thinking of polishing them and spray them with clearcoat. nawwww!
