I didnt think you could actually sand chrome. Would have lové to see the final result of the whole piece
Thanks
I've had a scratched and dented piece of trim for my 1946 Morris 8 in the "too difficult " basket for some time now. Watching Chris Foose on Overhaulin' showed me some of the techniques that I would need to use, but the nature of the show means you only see a few seconds of him working at a time.
Watching your detailed exposition of the methods and sequence required enabled me to carry out an effective and complete repair yesterday and what was unsightly now looks brand new.
Thank you for taking the time to post your excellent video.

Where can i buy those for a 79 caprice
HI! What is he putting on the buffer after he cleans it with the buffing dresser? Does the second buffer need it as well? Thanks! I've got about 3 miles of trim to work on for my 67 Impala. Cant wait….
I noticed something that is not brought up. My buddy from Indy called and our discussion turned to this topic. Suggestions he pointed out from shops down his street…The position of the buffing wheel & motor height is important for control and comfort. The direction the buffing wheel is pointing is important to note as eventually, you will launch a piece of steel at the speed of light into an undesirable location. My buddy uses an old mattress and he places a large cloth fender cover on it, so it can be washed & helps reduce damage if you item gets away. Also good lamps. Have a number of good lighting sources, different angles & types will increase positive productivity…and results. This is a long process that requires a patient craftsman and grinder height will save your low back, bench height will help viewing angle and directional lighting. Note, place a good heavy wood box under the bench as to place one foot onto as this aids in removing undesirable loading on your lumbar. Keep the floor clear of parts & cords around your work area. Good job with info.
