260ZRED Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 What you guys think? I still have to do the other three but this one turned out NICE. the pic kinda sucks tho.. Has anybody ever polished the inside space between the spokes? If you have a pic can you post it? I was going to do that but its sooo much work I want to see how'd it look first. Also, does anybody know how to restore the center caps for our Zs? mine are OK but starting to flake and peel. any advice would be apreciated!!

blueovalz Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I like the contrast between the polished and unpolished parts of the spokes. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260ZRED Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 hm I was hopeing to erase that contrast. But its just too dang hard. Also any advice on center caps? Even the "good" ones on ebay look not so good - the finish on them is 20-25 years old!! NOS ones are out of my budget. there has to be a way. what can I use to safely remove the old chrome/ paint? [without hurting the plastic..!] anybody out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
