How to get that brushed look on stainless headers...

[John McIntire]

I've been looking online on ways to "brush" stainless tubing.

Is all you need is a Scotchbrite pad and some WD-40 and brush in one direction?

Anyone done this and have any input or pics?



I have this pic from one of DSE's builds. I like the way it looks and would attempt this on my stainless Hooker headers.

I know they probably grind all the welds smooth so it looks like one continuous tube, I'm not going to go that far, I'd just like to give it that brushed look.

Thanks!

Here's a link to the pic of DSE's work.
