Plenum polishing questions

2 quick questions....

1. Is the TPI throttle body plate aluminum? Can it be polished?

2. When painting the grooves in the plenum, should I use engine paint or is regular rattle can paint good enough? Does the plenum get too hot?

Would be cool if he did post an engine pic, but not necessary. He did answer my questions.
