Nice rides. In one of your photos, it looks like you are on Van Ness Ave. under the raised freeway I think right? I'm not too far away in Hercules.

I wet sanded some of the surface rust off the trunks paint, then buffed and waxed the entire car to keep the rust at bay. Unfortunately I have to wet sand a lot more to get rust off haha. I just wanted to see what was savable and see how it looks.

And since I didn't tape anything off the rubbing compound messed up the trim i accidentally touched with the bumper so i had to clean that up. I refinished some trim pieces. I used auto magic black vinyl coat. You apply it with a rag, and It covers the plastic or rubber with a new thin coat of rubber. Next up is to hit some window seals. I also need to spray my chrome window trim, faded mirrors and door handles with trim black paint
