My turbo is scheduled to be delivered at my front door tomorrow. It is used, so I am wondering if there is any way to make it look like new. Could I spray the exhaust side with some engine paint? I would just use blac, or grey or something like that. Would the copper coaring work, even if it was already dirty and stuff. Also, what parts can I not spray when I do this? What could I do to the compressor side to make it look good? Use a dremel and polish it up? If anyone can answer these questions, or give other tips, that would be great. Thanks in advance guys! I can't wait to get it!

WOW!!! That IS amazing!! What could I use for a 12V power supply? Any common things? Any other tips anyone? Could I paint the exhaust side after doing this, just to keep it looking good for a long time? What about the compressor Would a dremel be ok, as long as I don't go crazy with it? What dremel tool would I use? Thanks for that page, that looks great.

Hahaha somehow that never occoured to me, but yeah that would totally work. Great post!

For bonus points, you could even gold/silver/aluminum/chrome/nickel plate stuff using the same process, with a little cyanide or plating solution.
