how do you refinish a outer grille shell for a 69-70?

I bought one sight unseen today and am really happy with it for the most part, but I saw some sanding marks like some careless or overzealous body guy let his DA sander get away from him. It also has a few small dent that I think I can dolly out. It is a major improvment over what I had before. I am sure someone has freshened up thier outer shell. Please help, and if I am in the wrong section ,mods, sorry please move me. Thanks

I just finished up mine (mostly). Pics in my signature. Very satisfied with the finished product.


Note: I was extreemly tired when I commented about what grit sandpaper I used - so what I wrote is incorrect and I need an admin to edit it for me.

I bought a new one for my truck even though the original is in very good shape ,just dull .I may try to refinish mine someday and hang it with the other leftovers or buy another truck to use them on.
