I probably spent more time than I needed trying to find the coating for my wheel hubs on my 68 This is what I finally came up with. to get a finish similar to that year. First, I used a scotch bright type wheel on my buffer, to remove any scratches. Then I bead blasted the part, after that I buffed it. Then using comet cleaning dish power, and a sponge scrubbed the shiny off. For the finish I am using two-part clear coating from a spray can. When it's activated by punching a button on the bottom of, the can. It needs to be used within a day, or it will go off in the can. May not be show quality, who knows, but I will be happy, that's what counts. Stan.
