How would I polish a Z-tube

Hey guys,
I got a Z-tube a while ago and I just saw that you can actually buy polished ones! Didn't know that before haha. Any way you can polish it after? I don't want to spray it with chrome or anything.

Leave it the way it is, you can't polish the one you have so that it has that shiny metal look to it, 'cause it's plastic.
You might have been looking at the BERK one:

Idk I saw a couple posts with people having polished Z-tube's lol. Guess I was wrong, would spraying it be bad heat wise? Using heat resistant paint.

You have two options, paint it with high temp paint or buy one that's polished and sell yours. Of course you could always leave it alone, option three....

I like the 3rd option, just leave it be. But if you must, paint it.

I'll probably leave it for now, I don't know if it'll look good with a polished plenum. Gonna buy an extra plenum and polish that. We'll see

Make one out of sheet metal. I've made several, and they polish up great.
