Default Polished IM?

My motor went to the machine shop friday. So I am in the process of doing a wire tuck and cleaning my engine bay. My IM is laying on the floor in the garage and i thought it would look cool to polish the outside of it. I was thinking of getting an air dremel with an aluminum wire brush and polish the outside of it that way it shines. Has anyone done this? If you have, or have seen pics post em! Give me some motivation! haha Thanks in advance.

btw: the motor is a d16a6

I'm a firm believer that chrome does not belong in the engine bay
