Very nice, but the clear-coat needs to be wet sanded & buffed.

I'm not knocking it by any means, just a pointer to make it really shine. :wink:

For the wheels on a budget, I'd find a good set of 15" Olds rallys and paint them gold metallic. Add the wheel trim and rings, and tou'd have a nice set of wheels for a fracion of the cost.

Also, you could mask off where the chrome portion would be and have it in silver metallic, and clear coat the whole wheel.

Also, I have seen new 442 wheel inserts for reasonable prices on ebay. You could have the vinyl shop who did the 442 graphics scale the gold "442" down on top of black vinyl.

It's not a show car, so I wouldn't bother with the risks of wet sanding it. I think it looks pretty damned sweet 😱 Not a crappycutlass anymore!

Just power buff with a quality professional high solids compound, followed by a straight wax, and it will look excellent. I use Farecla G30 compound. www.farecla.com

i'll giver a shot with the compounds...

im looking everywhere for a set of 15" rally's and found 1 set... but i have to take the whole 442 with it...for 1000... for that money i could get a set of torque thrust II's... so i may jus do that..

thanks guys...its not perfect..but its mine..
