Re: Another newby with a question, 1930 grain bed AA

Hey Chip, I picked out a spot on the fender splash and tried the Sikkens, it dried quite shiny so I dulled it down with a scotch pad and it looks pretty good. I just don't know if I could bring myself to painr over those old decals. I guess the trick would be to just paint the rustty spots. The sikk...

Re: Truck wheels-Paint or powder coat?

I bought my wheels from a feller in North Cal, he said he went to Les Schwab tire, they didn't work on wheels but gave him a contact to do the cleanup and powder coat. They look real good . Les Schwab then mounted the new tires. Sure wish we had Les back here on the right coast!. Bill James

Wow! who would have thought! This Sikkens satin clear sounds just like what I had in mind. I tried some rattle can clear and it looked way to shiny. Gotta go find me some! Bytheway, I'm still working on posting pictures. You know about old dogs learning new tricks. Bill James
