Default polished. now powdercoat clear?

just finnished polishing my turbo housing for my mustang. it's the compessor side that it polished and doen't see nearly as much heat as the turbine side. i'd like to keep the finnish up without having to periodilcly rub/polish it. couple of q's about clear options. thinking of powdercoat clear as it will be a little tougher than regular clear coat. i'm a little confused here. when i buffed i used black, brown & white. dosn't that leave some of the compound IN the metal? when i powder coat and bake won't the surface bubble as the compounds in the alum come to the surface and ruin my pc job? also, a question about using clears. wouldn't spraying clear on a polished alum peice be like spraying clear on a peice that's been previously waxed? i'd appreceate any info from anyone who's done either. thanks. btw, here's a before and after

You did a nice job on that. I've sent you a PM about your coating inquiry.
