yes, it costs just around a dollar each way. It's cheap.

PM me with a photo of your emblems you want done, and I can give you a better answer. Thanks! Drake

I'm restoring Duster, Plymouth, etc. emblems for $10 each or $5 each if you send in groups of 3 or more. You can choose any color for the interior. I will polish the face of the chrome as best as possible, although I can not rechrome, or remove severe pitting. If interested, PM me. Sorry I only...

No problem. They have most any emblem or sticker you'll need.

Looks great! That eases some nerves.

Well. Tried it out. YES IT DOES TURN THE CHROME TO A DARK GRAY. Don't do it!

At this point has anyone attempted clear coating the chrome paint?

Are they any good? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GMK-2150-690-70R/

Son of a gun! That's some great polishing! Very impressive!!!! do you know what RPM your buffer spins at?

Hey guys, the time to get my duster painted is growing closer and closer. I can not spend some $5,000 on a paint job. I was wondering if any of you had a car painted at Maaco and what you thought? I've always heard that masking the car was their weak spot, but they did a good job of shooting...

How far do you guys think you need to strip your car down to for the body shop to do a decent job? I've pulled all the lights, trim, bumpers, engine, and interior. I left the glass. Do you think this is enough for a decent restoration?

Harbor Freight is offering their windshield trim kit for only $9.99 right now. I was dreading purchasing ANOTHER set of tools to do another job until I found that out! http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-windshield-door-trim-tool-set-38386.html

Update- I tried the emery compound first to speed up the process per CudaChick. It definitely helps some. I wouldn't say it cuts a whole lot faster than the brown compound. But it does speed the process up a bit. Good tip!

Lowes. I purchased every single thing used from there except for the Mother's polish. You can get all this stuff at your local hardware store most likely. You can get the Easy Off from most any grocery store too.

Thanks CudaChick! Good info!

Only problem is that it reduces the shine. It even says it on the can.

3M actually recommends it for quarter panels. This is direct from 3M- "Two-part epoxy used to bond steel, aluminum, SMC, and FRP (traditional fiberglass). The primary use is to replace quarter panels, roofs, box sides, van sides, utility vehicle sides and door skins. For use on outer body...

Thanks! I appreciate it! Glad to contribute when I can.

Absolutely Doug. I kind of missed that in the tutorial other than adding the personal protective equipment in the items needed list. I'll go ahead and add your info.

Correct! I know Mercedes Benz uses it a bunch.

Ok... the title may not be 100% true but... I don't know if any of you are hip to 3M's Body Panel Adhesive. This stuff is amazing. We did a test on it, welded 2 panels together and attached 2 panels with this 3M stuff. Put it on a frame rack and pulled them apart. The weld broke approximately 10...

You can wax your aluminium and it stays really shiny. I've read some people say it stays glossy for up to 2 years. When it gets dull just a quick buff with Mothers Alu. and Mag polish should get her shining again with a little bit of elbow grease. The anodizing is a protective coating, but on...

Thanks guys. Glad to help.

Mullinax has a tutorial where he uses Lye to strip the anodizing off- HERE My issue is... I can't find straight Lye at any of my local hardware stores. So I went an alternate route and used Easy-Off's Grill and Oven cleaner. You HAVE to use the bad stinky kind, don't use their fumeless or...

Please Ignore... I'm Learning to use the search function!

Found this video on Youtube. Really helpful when it comes down to polishing the aluminium on our vehicles. Basically 1- 400 grit sand paper 2- Yellow Airway Buffing pad w/ brown cutting compound 3- White Airway Buffing Pad w/ white compound Youtube- Polishing aluminium

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the help. I'll get out the die grinder tomorrow and see how far the damage runs, then go from there.

I checked AMD. They have inner fender patch kits. That might be easier for you. I'm not sure of the gauge though...

Wow! That guy is ridiculously talented in the fabrication department!
