You souls have polished and clearcoated it, but that's b/c I think shiny metal is sexy. And it depends on what the theme of the car and engine combo is. I would have at least polished the he'll out of the star and then taped it off. Then clearcoated the whole thing after painting the rest. But that's MO. FWIW, hehe
