It would be nice to see someone detail a restoration of trim so others can copy.
I have a 67 Sport Coupe that could benefit from that
Jeff sort of teased us with pics of his 66 done,but not much info on process.

Other beltline is anodized aluminum including post cars.
Drip rail is also anodized aluminum.

Trim around front and rear widows are stainless.
Rocker trim is stainless below doors and lower quarter.
Rocker trim on lower front fender is chrome.

What did I miss?

Not mentioned is the grill trim is that is anodized, and the wheel arch trim is stainless. Deck lid trim is stainless, but outer trunk trim is chrome. Taillight louvers are stainless.

I refurbished all the trim on my '66 post coupe, but I ended up stripping the anodizing off and then polishing it rather than re-anodizing. Below are some photos I took showing the stripping and polishing process at various stages using a spare piece of trim I had laying around. Stripping the anodizing off is very easy using the heavy duty Easy-Off oven cleaner in the yellow can. The "fume free" stuff in the blue can does not work.

And I will say, polishing the window trim for the post coupes is not original, but it does look nice. If I ever want to have anodizing done, it wouldn't be too hard to do.









If anyone here has questions about refurbishing anodized aluminum or stainless trim for the '66-67 post coupe, let me know. I've done it all on my car. One thing I will recommend right out of the gate is to buy a Harbor Freight 6-inch buffer and universal stand to polish the trim. If you attempt to polish by hand, you will die of old age before finishing the trim. As with any power tool that spins fast, proceed with caution, wear gloves and eye protection (I wear a face shield), and be careful to not send a piece of trim flying.
