Remove Gold from emblems 

+

Hi everyone!

I'm the proud owner of a shiny new to me Del Sol. The previous owner gold plated emblems and other small trim pieces.

Ok, I know this may not be the question you guys like to hear... but how do I remove gold plating from my car emblems and trim pieces? Not to insult anyone... I really like the silver look and would like to see it again.

Thanks for all you help...

James,

To remove the Gold you can simply use a polish and rub until its gone. Be warned you will not be happy under the gold is nickel and nickel passivates quickly and will turn dull. Your best bet is to either have the pieces chrome plated or simply by new ones at the dealer and replace them.
