i thought i read someplace that there was a thread or post about how to repair headlight trim parts i tried to search for it but i didn't find the specific post, i wanted to see how others try to fix original ones
if someone can please point me to the thread about how that's done or an article on that topic i would be appreciative
i tried my hand at it again and i think i did a better job this time, a few more and i might be able to make them look new attached are photos of a stainless rim that i recently picked up from Turner's wrecking yard in Cali, it had some good dents and nasty scratches at where it got wiped against something hard. i used only the tools in the photo with either solid metal backing or leather depending on the specific shape of the required pounding, i don't have a way to roll metal yet near the end i did some sanding to reveal the high and low spots, then a bit more hammering final sanding is wet 600 - 2000, then some polishing with a buffer, i used some black emery on a sisal wheel, then i went to meguiars compound and polish with a softer wheel final polish was with a hard wool felt pad, no compound. i think it came out alright looking, good enough until i get even better. -s
