I am a brandy-dandy new hobbyist trying to restore a 68 GTO with hideaways. Anyone familiar with these? The covers that go over the headlights have a chrome or polished aluminum trim and the rest is black plastic with what seems to be paint on the fage grill lining. I am linking some good pics for reference. These can make or brake a GTO Resto.
What is the best way to bring the black plastic back to life?
How do I match the paint on the grill part?
Should I/Can I clear coat it with diamond clearcoat for painted surfaces?
Thanks!
