Thanks!

I have been working or restoring the outer grill for two days and I'm not totally happy with it yet. I shot it with oven cleaner and followed with sanding to get the aluminum back in shape. There where several dents and dings that worked out pretty well. Not sure what process some of you have gone through but I wet sanded up to 2000 and buffed it with a cotton wheel on a 4 inch air polisher. I used amsoil brand metal polish... it did okay nothing special. I then taped it and shot the black with SEM rattle can emamal. I really want to keep the GM outer so maybe some more polishing is in order.
