    Powdercoat or Polish

    If you all had the opportunity to do either powdercoating or polishing to everything on the car (read: engine componoents primarily), which would you do?
    I can't seem to decide, but the cost is about the same -- a gun and a compressor for powdercoating, or a hand and bench grinder / polisher for the polishing.

    Thoughts? Tips?

    Polishing would show that you used more elbow grease, and you'd appreciate it more.
