Cleaning/Polishing blue center hub dials - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had polished faded blue 4x4 hub dials back to more of their original luster. I will probably end up painting them with some blue krylon fusion, but thought I would ask. Thanks Trevor

I have pollished tail lights before and they came out great I dont see why this would be any diffrent go to harbor friaght or eastwood and get some polishing compound for plastic and give it a try if it dosnt work break out the paint.

When they are wet do they appear to be their original color?? If so then just clear coat them.....otherwise I would just continue with your original plan of paint......polishing would be difficult on this pc. and in the end I dont think it would last in the Sun's rays......jmho

I would try to polish them first then clear coat them.
