Tomorrow I need to take off my rockers to get them reshot at the local auto body shop since the 0 degree weather we had in January (even in my garage) caused the paint to peel. And I want to see what is behind them and clean there. A couple of questions:
1. Drilling out the rivets, what diameter drill bit do I use? 2. Any other issues with removal of the rockers? 3. I remember reading here that the original paint for the rockers is a mix of 30 flat and 70 gloss black, is this correct? 4. What are the length of the rivets for reinstallation? 5. Any idea where i can find black rivets? Sears only sells gray aluminum ones. I'll post pictures tomorrow. TIA. Rgds, Michael |

Anybody know the factory stock paint for the rockers. I thought I saw a past post that it was a blend of flat and gloss, but I can't find the post and I don't want to remove or pay for the repainting of the front and rear valances. TIA. Michael
