The 1947 Dodge Build
I decided to wetsand the top of the dash as I was not happy with the imperfections. If it gets warm enough today, I hope to spray a couple coats of clear. Would like to assemble it tomorrow.
So, trying to make a little more progress elsewhere, I decided to start on the bumper guard chevrons to paint them red. The bumper guard chevrons and where it says FLUID DRIVE on the rear bumper are commonly painted red. A before picture:
I figured the paint won’t stick to the chrome too well, so I roughed the chrome up a bit by hand with a small grinding wheel and sandpaper roll from my Dremel kit. So, 2 guards done, 2 to go.
I’m not looking forward to preparing the rear bumper since the bumper prep, painting and clear coat application is all done by hand.
