Next on my list will be polishing the stainless trim around the winshield, rear glass and drip rails. I ordered a buffing wheel and I think I'll get a stand at Harbor Freight to go to Harbor. I should be good to go after that! I also want to try restoring my Rallye wheel trim rings. They have acquired a few dings and scratches over the years and I would like to see if I can spruce them up a bit. I'll post more before and after pics once I get going.
Silly question, but why didn't they coat the whole thing?? It's good you decided to paint the remaining bare metal because you may end up with some "creep" eventually (where rust develops all over the whole part underneath the powder because the entire part wasn't encapsulated in it).I had my Rallye rims and spare tire rim powder coated for durability. I scuffed the back surface of the Rallye rims and painted them with semi-gloss black for more of an original appearance. Looks like the next project on my list will be restoring the stainless rims. I'm sure it's going to take a lot of man-hours to get them looking like new. Each completed sub-assembly is one step closer to completion! :blob:
