Might not see too well,but when my '90 Blazer was new,the first thing I did was powder coat the wheels and vent visors...and tint windows and go to 32/10.50 Michelins
That is exactly my plan. I see that it is chrome beneath the argent gray. I messed with it a little bit, but haven't done them yet. I need a good way to strip off the paint. I have some Jasco paint and epoxy remover that I used to strip off a painted VIN tag, which worked great. I'm going to give that a try. You can see it in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=563427&page=2 Any other suggestions?
