      As far as cost... Labor is a factor. If the prep-work goes well, then the cost is dependent of the amount of repair(s) needed.

          Will the anodizing polish up? I hit a small spot with a rag and some chrome polish on mine and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Paint cam out good though.

            No, unfortunately you have to strip it down in order to polish

                  Crist, is that the anodized aluminum grille frame? If it is, how did you strip it and shine it up?

                    It's my original anodized aluminum grill... I was fortunate that I little chrome-cleaner and wax was all it needed. The headlamp-surrounds are NOS. And the black decals are reproductions.

                      aluminium

                      Hey,

                      i just got my bumpers back. I have been way too lazy, means busy..., to polish them myself. Also, i don´t want to know what i breath in getting the anodizing off!

                      End of story, i am really really happy with the result:



                      Now, please - somebody send me the plastic nerfs NOS, or in reasonable condition..... :-(
