Gas cap
« on: November 05, 2006, 12:16:51 »
I have the stainless steel MB cap on my car.  When I had some chrome work done the plater polished the stainless so that it looks like chrome.  It was starting to discolor a little so I took it off and buffed it on a buffing wheel on my grinder.  Here is a pic.

It's hard to photo chrome but I think you get the idea.  It looks great on the car

That does look nice (although I still prefer the locking chrome cap). Interesting how with polishing and buffing metal can look like chrome.
