I'm getting my mav painted in a week from monday (painted on the 26th), and since i'm getting the cheapest possible at the best place in town, i thought i'd help them out a little by removing all the chrome, etc. So, my question: how do i remove the chrome strip along the weather channels (right above the door)?
Also, i found out recently that my mav was hit hard in the rear quarter, and had a new piece welded on (with lots of bondo). It's now cracking, i'm sure it's been plenty of years. The guy at the paint shop says that i need to sand all of the bondo off and start fresh, but i think that if i just sanded the cracks into v's and filled them it would work out just fine (especially since the bondo is already very well done). Is there any specific reason why i need to sand all of it off? Bondo doesn't crack with AGE, does it (i believe mine cracked because the lateral supports behind the rear seat broke at the weld)??
Well, thanks for any help.
