Poor mans billet aluminum

Here is an old chrome pulley that I had a brainstorm idea with.  

I didnt like the look of chrome with the aluminum valve covers so I decided to take a red scotch brite pad to it, then clear coat with satin clear. Now I finally have a use for all the old chrome laying around. 

Let me know what you think.
