Hi
Anyone have any ideas about restoring the galvanised capping which joins the body panels on my Series III 88"? Have sourced the Bronze Green and Limestone gloss and some etching primer for the body panels, but the galvanised strips are a bit grotty. Any tips gratefully received

how much do you want to spend?
you can replace 'em... or if they're sound, you can probably get 'em re-galvanised.
If you drill out/remove the rivets all the galvanised bits can be removed and you could then get the re-galvanised.
'Galvafroid' (think it's a finnigans product)... Thats a brush-on option, but only real way is regalvanising

When I did my series III swb I painted them with silver hammerite but thinned down so it wasnt too much of a 'hammered' effect. I am going to be doing my 90 ones soon but this time I'm going to take them off and have them galvanised (they are the original painted ones). The galvanising is done by weight so shouldnt cost too much. Richard
