Rocker panel on side
I've seen some of you guys on this forum with chromed up rocker panels on the sides of your vettes, did you just remove all the paint and polish it up? Or is it easier just to paint em?

I started with a die grinder with some of those 3M disc to knock off the anodizing and take out the heavy road rash on my rockers. Then I started hand sanding with water and 200 grit. Then I made my way up to around 1500 grit. After I was finished with this I polished them with bench grider and some red rouge. Looks great.
