Nice work. You cleaned up that Optima from eBay really good. That is the one from eBay right? It looks so different now...like brand new.

Did you remove the gold anodization from the shocks and nerf bars?

Post more photos of your progress. Are you going to get a Marwan reproduction body for it?

Hi I would like to ask your opinion regarding on how to coat/paint a silver wheels.

I have a silver wheels that due to old age the paint/coating is peeling off.

Any paint that you can recommend or certain procedure to make it last longer?...

Last post

Easy-Off oven cleaner with the yellow cap also works great to remove chrome & silver-metallized plating, and you'll have nice, white wheels ready for dye.

Thanks!
