I could bring Turtle down to bare metal and polish the aluminum, but I'm not sure what I'd do about the half that's plastic, lol!

Already ahead of you. I would just paint it to look like bare metal using metallic paint. ( Not just spray paint either - that just looks fake )
Paint it by hand and paint in all of the variances in color and such.

If I had an G1 Insight, I would absolutely do this, since it is aluminum.

You can also get a brushed steel vinyl wrap for the plastic parts - much like this car here, ( although this doesn't look like brushed metal ) :



Here is a car with a brushed metal wrap :



I love the look of bare metal cars such as this one :
