how do you restore your aluminum grille trim
I cleaned up the Darts grill a year ago. The headlight trim was a mess with dents and pits. I started with careful dent removal, filing, and going up through the grits from 220 to 2000, Mothers metal polish, than clear coat that I had from spraying the tire rims. I painted the black portions with an acrylic semi-gloss black by hand. It looks nice.
This winter Im working on the GT trunk trim, its very time consuming, but worth the effort kicking up the cars appearance a notch or two.
The other method is to send it all out to be professionally restored; big bucks for low buck cars.
Sorry no before photos.
