Hi all

Still plodding along with my plymouth

Does anyone have a good way of restoring the lower dash trim without loosing the lines?

I can re polish it, but trying to get the lines back would be a major mission.

I have had them soaking in an aluminium cleaner for hours today and they are a lot better, but far from good.

They are scratched and a bit pitted, I think they are beyond fixing, but I thought I would ask before I just polish them to shiney

Cheers

I repaired and mirror polished mine. Then used 2 different wide vinyl pinstrip tape to mask up with. Once I finished masking i removed the thicker one and glass bead blasted carefully from about a foot away so it didnt peel the remaining tape. Once blasted I removed tape and clear coated the whole panel. See if I can post a picture

Thanks Terry

Thought about doing it the same way, but I was hoping for an easier solution.

I dont think there is, but I hoped
