I got the dually fender trim clean up, polished and painted.

I also got a rearview mirror out of a later model truck with compass and temp, that's one of the things i miss about having a newer truck.

rs72z · 03-21-2012, 06:26 PM

Here's one of the way a couple of them looked before i started.

**trout** · 03-21-2012, 08:31 PM

wow how did you get them so nice?

It wasn't easy. Where they were pitted I started with 36 grit on a small block and sanded the majority of the pits out. Next i went to 80 grit, then once i had the 36 grit scratches out i switched to 80 grit on a 3" da, then to 180 and finally to 320. Next i polished them on a high speed buffer and then painted the black with semi gloss krylon.

cochino12 · 03-21-2012, 09:52 PM

Trim looks great, what kind of polish did you finish up with?

Just used some mothers after bufffing. I need to get some zoops seal or something like it and put on to protect it.

Conundrum · 03-22-2012, 06:59 PM

Trim pieces looks awesome!
Have you heard of the stuff called shark skin? It's a clear coat type of product that's supposed to be really strong.
