a question about rocker panels.
hello, i'm getting ready to polish/refinish the rocker panels on my 64. i sanded the finish off one corner and polished it and it comes out real nice. my question is do i have to sand the factory finish off (i assume it is anodizing) or is there another, easier way to remove the finish??? sanding it off is going to be a lot of work. thanks for any suggestions/solutions.

Caswell Plating sells anodize stripper. Bottom of this page in the price list.

I have been told that household oven cleaner will strip it, but I have yet to try it.

PS--all those little baby rivits were a pain.

Oven cleaner is what I have always heard - other than a trip to the plating shop for a dip in their tanks. You don't want to try stripping that factory anodizing over a large area by sandpaper.
