I was gonna buy these chrome struts so thought I would take off the old ones just to check sizing.
Then had a root around in shed and saw I had some ‘chrome paint’ so started to rub them down for prep.
Then, as the black paint was coming off revealing ‘clean’ metal under I decided just to keep on going with my drill attached sander.
Then with drill attached polish disc got this result.
All in all took about an hour and a half and cost pretty much nothing!!
