Mine is not big areas, just numerous chips and small nicks from use since 1972 on this one. I am dabbing paint in the chipped areas and have some 800 and 1200 grit paper. It’s only original once, so trying to keep it stock looking. Good from 3 feet is my goal here. I see some before and after pics here and am amazed. I will try the polishing compound then. Will also do my first graphics and maybe clear coat. Give me a wrench instead please.
