Rocker Stainless and Paint Stripes

Two questions on a 70 GS Stainless Rocker molding. What's the best way to shine these up? Mines in pretty good shap but it needs a good shine. What is the correct paint color for the two stripes? I see they are some shade of red but it's pretty faded. Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

 

Stripes are orange. Use Dupli-color GM249

 

Matt, Thanks for the color info. Now if I can just find a way to really make them shine!

 

Best way is to use a buffer or polishing wheels. I use the 8" buffer wheel on my bench grinder motor and some white buffing compound. Comes out like a mirror. :TU:

 

George,

Thanks.

Rocker Panel Paint

Vinyl is a good substitute for paint, if you get a close color match. Easy to apply and a little more fade resistant than paint. Any sign shop should be able to supply stripes, laser cut to the right width ! I used matt black vinyl on the black inserts in the body side mouldings on my Riviera. Looks original, and was easier, and much more permanent than paint ! :TU:

 

Tomato Red

Use 1/4" Tomatoe Red 3M brand, pin stripe. Quick and easy. Looks great.

MIne are red

 

The vinyl idea is great.I did it on my 68 GS.I tryed painting the stripes in the w/o moldings but it is a PITA.The stripe tape is quick and lasts longer.
