Default Re: Aluminum engine restoration

Thanks for the quick reply.
Will the beadblasting alone create a factory silver shine?
I should've mentioned that mine is an Acura Honda engine. So it's no fancy motorcycle engine. I tried to scratch the engine block with a sharp screw driver but I didn't see no paint peeling off. So that's how I assumed that the engine could've been electroplated. It looked almost as if the color of the aluminum body is the aluminum itself. But then again, the color looked too even and consistent to be beadblasted alone.
