I do pretty much the same thing. I like to take a bomb can of flat black primer and spray both sides and use it as a visual guide coat the same as doing body work and priming. It just gives me a better visual aid.

Can you do this with all types of chrome trim? Have some pieces on my 68 E-type roadster and aftermarket parts are either hard to find that fit correctly or do not exist.
@troykane11 ай бұрын
The video is specific to Stainless steel. But alluminium trim can be polished in the same fashion. Alluminium trim is sometimes anodized. The anodizing should be removed before polishing. I would assume the trim on the Jag is Stainless.

Good job but your deep scratches are caused by you. Imo your damaging the trim. Its easier and safer to use a finer grit on a hand sander or soft block.

I would agree. Go as fine as you can get away with.
