Good deal, John! I hope I can catch up with you in PF next month. I think the last time I shook your hand was about 15 years ago at the Nats.

me too Rage.... that has been sooooo long ago I don't think I'd remember anyone we met back then... 'sept maybe Ken P. and Dewayne... my memory has followed my hairline... gone..

John... you doubters are something... here's the proof... left side not polished... right side a quick job with NeverDull.. wish I had done a real job on it on the bench before install but now all the wiring is
complete and I'll just have to do it in place



left side -undone


right side.. done

I believed you.....just wanted to SEE what the difference was....It came out real nice. how is your chrome in the inner area. Mine didn't come out to good. The plater said the chrome wouldn't "flash"
into that area. This side is the worst, the rh side is a little better.

Where can you buy Never Dull? I've never heard of it. Is it only regionally sold?

John, can I bother you to post a pic of the painted black area. I think I might do that to mine.

John
I'm headed out of town for a day trip today but will get something tomorrow. The grill is mounted and all the wiring is done.. with the wiring
running across the back of the grill... I can get a pic of the corners like we discussed and showed in the picture but all the rest is just
brushed on with a small brush... brush strokes and all...

When I was about 14 years old, I used an old can of Never-dull on an aluminum snowmobile chassis. Made it look like chrome! I found the can in an old machine shed at the house my Mom n Dad were renting from a farmer. When it ran out, I was devastated...no internet! So I wrote a letter to the name and address on the can. Sent it off in the mail.
A week or so went by. My mom yells for me, and I thought...uh-oh...lol...They sent me a new can and told me where to get it locally! To me, it was like I won the lottery! The return letter was actually signed with a real ink pen too.
