Restoring grill shell questions
So I'm redoing my grill shell. I've got it all stripped and sanded my question is what to use to seal it once it's all done clear coat or some sort of aluminum sealer? Also has anyone done the Chevrolet letters in white? I have a white roof and I'm curious if it would look good

Re: Restoring grill shell questions
What year is this grill?
Outer grill I assume? *I have "restored" my 1972 grill and it looks pretty good. |

Re: Restoring grill shell questions
From what I've read clear coat is an alternative to anodized metal.

Re: Restoring grill shell questions
Will the polish make it to where the clear coat won't stick though? Or will me just rubbing it down with acetone be fine?
