What do you think?

I don't have before pic but the difference is unreal..Even my wife couldn't believe her eyes.

 

Not bad...I'd do a little sanding to get the "ripple" out of the black...might be on the other colors too, but not as noticable b/c it isn't black...Did you use the Plastic Compound from Eastwood? I'll post pics of my Bird's lights when I get a chance...

I'm not too familiar w/ the Camaro Lamps, so I'm not sure if the other portions are able to be sanded (w/ all the grooves in them, etc.)...

Looks pretty decent though...Nice work

 

It actually looks better than on the pic. I only used Mother's Mag and Aluminium Polish. It did an awesome job.

I did have Eastwood compound but i didn't use it. I think it needs a very loose buffing wheel and the one i bought was not that loose and when i tried polishing something else (plastic) according to directions, it did not do anything..

What wheel would be the best for an electric drill and that blue Eastwood compound??

 

You can't beat the master.

 

No u can't , jk.



I used 2 different compounds and 1 polish, and i chrome spray painted the inside.

 

Was that done by hand, or did you use a wheel?

 

I used a heavy duty polisher with all the compounds. i hadn't put anything on it by hand. I wetsanded off those dumb numbers that were on it from the factory. Im actually very happy w/ how they turned out.

 

How did you get to paint the inside?
Do tell.

 

i removed those metal clips around the lens, and then i pulled it apart; being careful not to break it. then just stuck the lens back on when i was done, i think it'll be worth it when i see how well they shine in the dark. won't be for bout 10 yrs tho when i get done restoring it.
