Re: Roostre's 1967 C20

Tonight I spent some time cleaning up my headlight bezels to paint them to match the grill trim. The bezels were rusting under the three layers of paint. I think someone probably primed and painted over the rust. As I stripped them, they look like they were chrome at one point. There were a couple of minor dents in the edge of one that I worked out after taking the paint layers off.

This time, I got before and during pictures. The first one is what they looked like before I started. You can see the edges of the grill trim in the picture to compare the color. The next picture is after I hit them with my air angle grinder with an 80 grit pad. I then went over them with 80 grit by hand. The next picture is after some 100 grit by hand. The final one is in primer.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some pictures of the finished product.
