Some pics of plastic parts restored

[David Maxwell]

OK, this first pic shows stages of the process begining with:

1. Original condition

2. Back sanded

3. Front and back wet sanded

4. Front and back rubbed with glazing compound

This medallion had good paint remaining in the lettering. For the ones that don't, I'll paint in the black and red and then rub or sand off if I have to, any paint that bleads outside the lettering. Then I'll shoot new silver paint over the back.

David-

That's basically how I restored mine, and it does seem to come out better that way. The three-stage plastic polish I used really brightened up the plastic front like new.

...that you used? Thanks!

This is what I used. I bought them a a local plastics store. Here's the link. Maybe it will list a local retailer near you.
