I would be interested in seeing this. I was thinking of sanding and polishing mine as my car is blue and the vavle cover is red. Do it and post picks so I can see if it would look ugly or not

It's a nickel plating in the form of paint more durable and does need any polishing once cleared it will always look new and not to mention its a fraction of the cost
