1953 Chevy Truck Polished Grill

[gag1025]

I ordered a new SS glove box door. I looked all over for a SS speaker/ashtray grill but there waas not one to be found. I inquired about getting it chromed but was told that the metal was so thin it would not chrome very well. I came up with the idea of having it bead blasted, polished and sprayed with clear laquer. I went to a company close to my house called Race Tech. They are located west of Burlington, NC to see if my plan would work. They polished it up and put a coat of clear powder coating on it and I was (and still am) thrilled about the way it turned out. I have attached some pictures of both pieces seperate and side by side but was unable to send the original because I could never resize it to a size that would show the true quality. So, the attached photo is not very viewable. I just wanted to share this with you to show that regular non SS can be polished and coated to a beautiful and lasting luster. If you would like for me to send you a full size picture via email please email me at gag1025@yahoo.com.
