Easily done my man. You can get buffs and compounds at sears, harbor freight and eastwood co.
the front cover is easy. the valve covers are a bitch. lots of nooks. Youl want a dremel and buffing wheels for the crevices. practice on something you don't care about. a 3000 rpm buffer can throw a part far and hard. glasses and clves are a must. watch for the heat. the spot you buff heats up fast so keep the part moving. nothig quite like the heart pouding excitement of burnt fingers, letting go of a part and then digging that part out of a wall.

I have a cheap bench grinder but I don't know where to get the buffing compound and buffing wheels to fit. Do I need to do a hard buff followed by a color buff or is it just a one step procedure? I buffed brass on musical instruments about 15+ years ago but I lost contact with the suppliers of all those materials. I really just need info on where to get the right materials.

A cheap bench grinder, some wheels and compound go a long way to get and keep things well polished if you're so inclined. I have all of the engine covers on my Ducati Pantah motored Alazzurra buffed to what some have mentioned look 'show' quality with just that setup. It's not that hard, just takes time and I probably only have about $100 in my setup including materials. Rich

Rich, Thanks for the info. I guess you figured out that I am getting frustrated with polishing out mine. I can't ever seem to get the same results by hand that a buffing wheel can get and I can't pay $100.00 every time I want a professional shine. May send them off after this riding season.
