Thanks! We’ll see what is there when I get it on Monday. Just from the picture, I know I’ll be using a bit of aluminum foil and Tri-Flow on the chrome. On paint, I usually use 3-M Perfect-It II followed by Finesse-It II and the polish. I just hope there’s no rust.. should be an interesting project.
