You would probably have to do something like this...
Tape off all the area you are going to leave painted - exposing only the part you are wanting to polish.
Use some stripper to remove the paint - or start sanding.

Then - just follow a polishing guide.
One thing to note - the more sanding you do - the better your polishing will look.

It is not a fun nor easy task - but it will look pretty good if done right.

There is a polishing guide at www.EastwoodCo.com along with all your supplies and Todd2001SS on here has a guide on his website---> http://groups.msn.com/Camaro2001SS/_...pgmarket=en-us
