Barn find 72 340 duster

Did some work on the restoration of my lenses and finished them up today. Pics are a little out of order but here goes... Scrubbed lens in warm soapy water to get as clean as possible, then using polishing compound I polished them several times to restore the luster and shine. Tape them off and sprayed with Krylon Silver paint.Let dry for two days and and then coated with Krylon semi- gloss clear. This give the silver a protective coating and reproduces the factory finish perfectly. Dry for a few days and re-tape for the black accent line in the middle of the lenses. The is a major pain in the *** to tape this part off, but to get the best results time must be taken here to get sharp lines and a tight seal. Using Krylon Semi- gloss black paint fog in a light base coat to start the process. Let dry for a few minutes and fog in another layer of paint, paying close attention to the edges and to insure good coverage. The last pic is the finish product and looks as good as any NOS taillight I even seen. This 72 Duster lens is one that is very difficult to do, but this process can be used for any mopar lens and will work the same. Remember these important tips. High quality tape. I have always used Krylon paints because i like the results but you can use the brand of your choice but always use the same brand for all the finishes. Polish, polish and polish them some more. You want them to be shiny and clear. Hot soapy water again to remove any polish that is left. Make sure your hands are as clean as possible also so you don't leave any oils on the lens as you tape it off. Take your time and pay attention to the details, it will pay off in the end. The uneven silver on the edge of the lens is not a area to worry about because the gasket will cover this. the second to the last photo is the finish product..
