Location: Arkansas | I am wanting to remove all of my old rivets (that hold my chrome stripping on), some are loose or just missing but others are still on tight. I want to remove them all and put new rivets in their place. They'll need to be remove for painting anyways.I don't want to damage the chrome or the steel...so any suggestions or tried-and-true removals would be helpful.Thanks |
