    Scuffed Up the grille emblem, looks decent!

    The chrome trim along the windows was looking pretty shabby so I opted to mask off the paint and scotchbrite the trim and was quite pleased with the result I got, thing that has been bothering me is I didn’t do the grill trim, the lower headlight trim strips or emblems, I have a spare beat up emblem and some spare time at work so I gave it a quick scotchbrite once over, I think I’m going to pop out my emblem and spend a little more time on it, I’m thinking it’s going to look good as it will match the rest of the trim.

    What do you guys think?

    Scotchbrite and time....

    I scuffed all my metal trim due to acid rain etching. It looked pretty good! I posted here, I’ll see if I’m smart enough to link it here LOL

    you can also hit it with matte clear coat spray and it will magically turn chrome into brushed aluminum look.
