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
