Looks like its been stripped and chromed....
Would be expensive to get done but might be worth it by the look of yours....looks excellent!!! |

No offence intended, but I don't particularly like it how one part is done and the other is so plain.
Your car definitely looks nice in general, and I am jealous though.

Colourex in Huntingdale, Victoria can chemically strip it for you, I have had many items done there, and Mark is very good, at removing coatings gently.
You could post it to him to get done. |

thats the problem I have....some parts have come off and the finnish is crap, so I want it all off and then may be paint it, or polish it .....for a nice and even finnish.
How did you get yours off????? |
