i have 72 chrome bumbers that look very very good for being 34 years old, but the plastic grills need some attention...
does anyone know what paint they were originally done with? is it wurth silver like the wheels were? i have a can of it here and the cap indicates a much faller color that the grills are. the grills have a very even metallic color very similar to chrome. anyone have experience doing this and know what to use? thanks -shaggy |
