    Painting dash top heater vents

    My plastic heater vents are chalky so I’ve gently sanded off the chalk the best I can but it’s impossible to sand into all the crevasses. The paint shop recommended SEM flexible coating paint. Do flexible paints stand up well to heat? The can instructions call for an “appropriate adhesive...

    Installing hood hinge

    Do most members install washers between the hinge and the body’s sheet metal when installing the hinge? Also what is the best way to install the push nuts, and how snug should they be against the hinge? I thought a deep socket might work the best to push on the nut.
