P-slots
Rocker Cover
Dizzie cap

to do wheels you will need:-
paint stripper to get rid of the laquer
p480 to p1200 paper
polishing mop and polish (bar type) - on drill or grinder
tube of autosol
loads of cloths and patience

to rough ally you will need p120 (maybe) to get rid of the cast marks etc then work up in grades up in grades to p1200.
polishing mop and polish - on drill or grinder
auto sol
cloths

in all seriousness youtube does have soe good demo vids of how to do the process

it all depends on what materials and coatings you have to remove to enable polishing as to how your process starts - your rocker cover is painted mild steel - which will polish but then rot the very same day LOL.............. you will need to buy an ally one like what i have!!!! Smile or get it plated.

i do have a good relationship with an electroplater... but it does cost money
