Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
Here is the front side after refinishing. First step was to wash it down with a strong de-greaser. Then the very worn silver plating was removed with a tooth brush and Easy Off oven cleaner. Washed and dried again the gauge rings were masked off and painted Fine Textured Black to match the small gauge bases. Then the black was masked off and the silver was resprayed with Aluminum Chrome (both Rustoleum products). Finally the Detroit Muscle Technologies, DMT, carbon fiber overlays were attached with dabs of 3M weather strip adhesive. Now it's starting to look like something.
