Removing deep scratches in polished metal?
 

So I bought some used Stillen G3 intakes and the tubes are all scratched to hell. They work great but cosmetically speaking look like they got keyed, any one know of a way to "buff" out the deep scratches?

As an alternative I was thinking of wrapping them in something to hide the blemishes...either some thin sheet metal or something. Any ideas?

or just powerder coat them any color youd like

Yeah, I know a Powdercoater...

Both, great suggestions. Thanks Triples and FairladyZ, DE...don't worry I didn't forget about you homie. If i do get em PC'ed, trust me you'd be the first guy I go to

I had the same problem. I bought a used set of Gen 3's and the finish was really dull and a few scratches. I used Adam's metal polish and Mother's polishing ball attached to a drill. The finish is nearly as good as new. For the really deep scratches, you'll need to wet sand, then polish back the shine. I'd try a "coarse/severe swirl remover" polish first though and see if that works.
