Looks good but you can probabally do better than that, start with like 1000 grit get all the scratches and gouges out of it, then go to 2000 over it complete, then get a buffing wheel and go at it with mothers aluminum polish.

I started with the 400 grit then to 600 and 800. Stoppped at 800 cause i had to put it bck on the car. This weekend i plan on taking it back off and hitting it with the 1000 and 1500. That should do the trick.

this is what it looked like before i took it out of the car

Nice job on the cam cover though, dont forget to to check for oil leaks around the seal after the final install though.
