I'd use a low speed dremel tool or something similar to clean the paint of of the area you want polished, then using sandpaper sand it by hand building up to a reallllly fine grit.
I once had a set of 7MGE covers that I sanded smooth ending with 1000 grit paper, they looked damn nice. No more casting pits or marks of any kind, but still weren't to that shiny polished look. However, they were almost there. I'd guess you'd want to reach 1500 grit, and then use high temp clear coat paint to give the whole cover a nice, glossy finish. You'll probably need to use a clear adhesion promoter for the sanded parts. I believe Duplicolor makes the adhesion promoter and high temp clear coat.
