I just had my injectors cleaned and flow tested so I figured while I was waiting for them to be done I decided to clean up the FPR a little. Initially I was just going to give it a light sand ready for some matt black paint, but the more I took off the nicer it came up...
Here's the results:
Before

After

It looks almost brand new! I'm not sure what kind of metal it is, is it stainless or tin? I'm really liking it just bare metal like that, if it's not stainless do you think a coat of clear would protect it enough so the surface doesn't get rusty over time?
Also while I was doing it, I noticed a plastic ring bit surrounding the wire connector. It was very brittle and the damn thing just fell off in 2 big pieces and a dozen tiny ones...

I then went to look at my NA's FPR and the same thing has happend to that at some stage lol So I'm guessing this is a common thing and isn't all that important?
