FC427,
You can see the stained grill in this photo. It has a stain in the top and bottom of the main surrounds and the horizontal bars across the middle. This lets down its appearence a bit.


Greg,
I believe that the car was originally white with black insert and red and black interior.
The white colour is from a late model commodore and the insert is a custom mix blue with a purple pearl painted over a silver base. It sometimes looks blue and sometimes purple.

EffCee,
I like the interior too, but i'm a bit worried about keeping the light colours clean. Hopefully i wont be spending too much time fixing it so greasy finger prints shouldn't be too much of a problem. Smiley

Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul.
The horizontal bars are Stainless and should come up with a polish.
Any idea what caused the stain?
Have you tried Autosol on the chrome to try to move it?

Paul I wonder if it had come in contact with rust converter or dexodine to cause the staining ?? as Alex said the grill bars are stainless steel and can be removed and lenished with a scotch bright belt and then polished to a mirror finish if you need any help with the polishing let me know .....FC427.......

Not to hijack your thread but.... Roll Eyes

I have several little pinpricks of rust showing through the chrome on my FC and also another car. They have run slightly showing a larger spot of rust but in reality it is very small "hole" in the chrome so to speak. Can these be cured or polished such that you can't see them any more?


Thanks
Paul
