I'm not 100% sure of the factory finish on them (bare metal I think but I'm probably wrong) I think I'm going to bead blast mine and spray them over with the same stuff I did the engine with

I think the originals were silver hard anodised, Most recent experiment was, to polish them, lightly abrade again with 1500 grit an vinegar, quick rinse to zero PH, solvent wipe with Tamiya X22, and Hycote clear Extreme heat (450C), Preheated 140C oven for an hour with a double layer bacofoil umbrella over. They look OK, but they are for a "spare" system, so may not know in use results for a good while. One other set almost polished, and one set in the hut to strip the 20 year old silver VHT off, and I will do the same process again, since I've still plenty of that clear coat left... That silver you have used looks fine
