Default Re: Trim Tag Rivits

I've never been in any situation in which trim tag r/r was needed during resto. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I would have some serious reservations on ever doing so.

Having one chem-dipped isn't an option we would consider, and the ones I've had blasted I've covered every tag/# with several layers of duct tape as well as repeated instructions to the blaster not to go near it. When we had (the first and only) car soda blasted, they didn't listen very well and hit the tag. It looked damaged initially, but turned out okay.

Non-issue now as I do the blasting myself now (again). And if its built up with paint, just strip the paint as BH mentioned.
