This was a tough job. I did a ton of wetsanding and got no where. The paint was rock hard so correction was limited.



PG via PC/Yellow CCS x2 on each panel

SIP via PC/Orange CCS

PO106FF via PC/Blue CCS

PoliSeal via PC/Blue CCS

The car looks really good. Nice turnaround. You would have had more luck with a rotory buffer. Still looks good tho.
 
Wow, that looks really good! I'm kind of surprised someone was willing to sink the kind of money a detail like that costs into an '87 Fiero.

I got nowhere with my Hitachi at 1500rpm, and didn't feel comfortable trying to push my luck with it so I stuck with the safe route.
 
I would love to have one of those for a project car, so many possible engine swaps.



Nice turnaround. Is there some kind of protective thing on the tails?

Those are the "blackout" taillights Pontiac was using in the period. There is the yellow/red lens, and a black plastic ribbed spacer, and then the clear lens.



gtpaul, is that broken sail panel glass just regular glass that can be replaced, or is it part of a smoked lens (that's probably no longer available)?

The owner has a sail panel replacement piece, probably from a junkyard car...
 
That looks great, your pictures are hiding the great work you did. I would have also tried to polish out those taillights. I completed a Fiero a few years ago and those tails were easy to polish.
 
Aluminum polish on chrome tips? Next time try some #0000 steel wool and then chrome polish. Believe it or not, it will prob come out better than that and a lot easier!
