Rear rocker trim.

Post by 74MonteCarlo on Tue Oct 04, 2011 5:43 pm

After I was cleaning rubber off of my car last night from a burn out, I though I'd take off the two rear rocker trims, and polish them on the bench. Turned out pretty nice. The body is very clean underneath.

Trim before:





Body before wash & wax:





Trim after polish:



Body after wash & wax:





Everything back together:

Might want to address that surface rust there. Clean it up and put some rust killer type product on it.

Por15 works awesome & coverage is excellent. Just a light sanding (not to bare metal & blow off the "dust") it actually bonds to rust & you can leave as is since the cover will go over it. Do both sides though.

Yes. Yes I did. I laid down over 55' of rubber on the ground.

I have no idea what happened to the original wheel opening moldings. It was the way it is when I got it. Sad

I do know, at some point in time, it was painted around the wheel openings. maybe the originals were dinged up. The original owners were quite old, so maybe they hit a few things...lol.
