Outer grill restoration
I have off my 1970 C10 my outer grill in very good shape. I would love to get if refurbished ie polished and the letters repainted et c before i reinstall it. I live in Arizona. Does anyone have a company or persons to recommend in getting this done? I'd rather do this than get a cheap copycat

Re: Outer grill restoration
I posted this in 2017... also see link for another thread with info I added.
If you use hair and grease drain opener with a scotch brite pad the anodizing comes off in 5 minutes. Just gloves and Saftey glasses. Nasty stuff but strips it off in no time. Let it set on there for 5 min. Then sand 220 grit all the way up to 1500 grit then buff. I think I sanded 220 320 400 600 1000 1500 Polished with mothers aluminum and mag polish clean with denatatured alcohol or similar Then coat with protectaclear. It's work but maintanence free once coated. Takes about 2 hours. also see this thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=everbrite
