Looking for projects I can do in the winter. Getting to the point where I gotta think about trim.
My goal is for car to look really good but not like a trailer Queen and above all, I want low maintenance. My 67s trim is all original other than getting new taillight bezels.
The stainless (windshield trim and trim around the convertible top opening), I assume can just be wet sanded up to 2000 grit and polished.
The aluminum I supposed is anodized which has to be stripped. Is it worth it? Does it polish up to near “chrome” or stainless level of shine? Does using a catalyzed clear coat afterwards protect as well as anodizing?
I’m a little afraid of the grill which has delicate fins and I can just see a buffing wheel catching one of those and making a mess of it.
So, anyone take decent trim and go through the effort of stripping the anodizing and polishing? Was it worth the effort?
