Cleaning a driveshaft to get at paint marks
Wondering if anybody has a good method of getting to factory driveshaft paint stripes when the drive shaft is covered in surface rust and 25 years of road crap, I can see them, just need to bring them out w/o taking them off completely. Thanks in advance SULLY

Re: Cleaning a driveshaft to get at paint marks
I uncoverd a set last year on a 69 COPO Camaro I restored. The drive shaft had been covered in some kind of black Yuk. I could see the outline of two stripes and carfully wet sanded w/600 paper. They were very thin, but I was able to atleast determine the colors for later re application.
Let us know what color you find and the car type. This is what I found, 4 speed L72 COPO Camaro.   Good Luck Mike
