how did that alt. turn out? That had to be some major sanding time! I have been working on my egr spacer forever! I am getting the hang of it now though and i did end up finding some 600 grit. After the 600 grit i am using extremely fine steel wool and then polishing after that. It is turning out pretty damn good...of course there is always room for improvment. Did you find any clear coat or anything to cover it up once it is finished? I seen some clear coat this weekend that was a high temp (engine temp) clear coat. I dont know how good clear coat would look on aluminum but i know that something should be put over the freshly sanded and polished metal...it will just get all crappy if you dont.

Let me know if you find anything.
