Re: 1967 buick special wagon

While I'm waiting on parts, I decided that I want to detail the wheels. When I saw them online, I thought they were machined with silver paint, but they're all silver. One thing I learned to do is polish aluminum so it looks like chrome. I sanded the face and outer lip with 80 grit, 180, 320 and then 400 grit. Then I polished everything to a mirror shine. I was going to paint the silver parts gun metal grey like the car, but I think they'll stand out in bronze against the grey. I know it's not going to be a popular opinion to go bronze, but if I don't like it, I can always repaint it.
