Those look amazing, Kurt ! I was thinking that a good candidate for this treatment is the 56-61(?) Kelsey Hays power brake booster cover. In the past, I’ve fudged it with the Eastwood Gold Cad paint. But this is the real deal. Ron From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Behalf Of Kurt Brueske I don’t recall if I posted this before but just in case, I found the following Duplicolor aerosol (DE1618 Detroit Diesel Alpine Green) to be a very good match for the turquoise paint used by Chrysler in the early 60s…available at NAPA. This product also claims to include ceramic chemistry….the final finish is very impressive. Also, in a related thread, a club member mentioned that I may do plating - that is correct, I do zinc chromate plating (yellow, blue, black, raw) of mainly OEM brackets, washers, nuts and bolts. I started doing this to support working on my own cars but have grown to helping others with small jobs. To me, the difference between a nice car and one that really draws me in is the attention to detail paid to use of correct OEM hardware and finishes. Too many people throw out old hardware because it looks irredeemable and replace with something new from a big box retailer - this is a big mistake, you’d be surprised what you can do with what looks like rusty junk with a prosper sequence of cleaning, media blasting, acid bath, metal finishing and plating. If you’re interested, see my ad on the Club page. Here’s a quick task I did earlier today.
