More trim questions.
I've got a few more trim questions on my '72 Ranger. Is the side trim stainless or aluminum? My trim had the black painted insets but all of the paint has faded out and I was wondering about how to paint it back in. I was also wondering about a good polish to use on all of the trim parts. The tailgate trim panel is really dull and so are the side peices. I would really like to get them shined up again.
Also is there anything that can make the faded paint look a little better. I won't be able to afford a paint job for a while but I want my truck to look its best.
And finally, is there a good company to get original interior parts, like door panels etc, from?
Thanks.

What I did on my `bottom` trim is cover the `Groves` with 1/4" wide black pin striping tape. then polish with good classic car wax.
I tried to paint the groves and what a mess....

Try good old rubbing compound for starters..

Try looking at www.autokrafters.com and see what is there... If it is `rare` Call them they may have it in used condition....
