Default Polished aluminum bodies

Occassionally I see a Cobra with a polished aluminum body and I think they look pretty spectacular. Now that I'm thinking Kirkham 289FIA hybrid, I'm also thinking about going the polished body route. Anyone with experience on this? Curious on how much work or extra expense one must go to, to get it looking right. How much work is it to maintain? Do you have to order the body prepared in any special way in order to polish it out?

I'm thinking polished body with flat black Cobra stripes, and black roll hoop, pipes and quick jacks.

I don't personally like the look of the unpolished bare aluminum cars (they look like somebody didn't finish their car --- to me). So, I'd like to focus on the polishing process, cost, and maintenance.


BTW: I've also already heard the ***** and moan about not liking these polished aluminum cars at the track, so if you don't have a polished aluminum car but have something negative to say about 'em, I've already heard it ad nauseum.
