I debated sanding and polishing, just polishing, or painting the housing gloss black (just the textured parts)... I just got a little lazy... the compressor was going to take a lot of time to smooth out well enough to polish... especially in the nooks and crannies. As I see everything come together... I still might paint the textured areas gloss black... but for now I'm going with how I have it.

I just painted and cleared the bypass valve top gloss black...I polished the letters and masked them off... I'll post a pic later... it is drying right now. It will have the look I was/am contemplating with the blower.
