    I have stripped the paint off of mine. If you started with what I have now, you must have put some big time hours into them!

    this 1 cover took me almost 4 hours to do.

    i sanded it outside,and the wind threw all the dust on my girlfriend's white Acura

    it looked like Mt St Helens erupted on it,and my particle mask is black

    i used a 34 grit disc to get the coating off

    then i sanded with:
    40 grit
    60 grit
    100 grit
    120 grit
    150 grit
    220 grit
    240 grit
    400 grit
    600 grit
    800 grit

    I have a set of black covers but really like the polished look. Are you interested in doing this on others? (Assuming your girlfriend hasn't killed you for messing up her Acura. :grin: ) Also, do you intend to use any sort of clear coating to avoid tarnishing, etc?

    i charge $120 to polish these covers,since they are sand cast

    i don't put any coating on them.

    i forgot to add if the covers sell here,i donate $10 to V8Buick.com
