Aluminum Grill Restoration
Morris I really enjoyed you stopping by this afternoon. After you left I got thinking about aluminum grill restorations on the bump-side (1967-72) pickups so I started to look into it and it's not that difficult. Anything really good I'll post here.

What kind of clear coating would you recommend for some aluminum rims Chris?
I have to polish my rims up on my truck before I throw the new tire on it, and I would like to try some clear to preserve the polish job a little longer.

You'd have to shop around but I think dupli-color makes a clear in a spray bomb for polished aluminum, try asking walkers or acklands. I don't use it, I maintain my rims so you don't need to major polish except every 5 years or so

Thanks Chris, Ill call around and check!
I put on quite abit of kms a year, half on gravel. Its tough to keep up the polishing on the rims, I could use a little added help from some clear coat haha.
