Default Re: What would YOU do with this car?

Joe, that is correct. A flash coat of black was painted on these and was just enough to keep them from rusting. They were then machined. A combination of the machining oil and brake fluid would leave very little paint intact. When I restore them, I use a cast colored paint and then air brush a very fine 'mist' of black paint. What you end up with is a black part with a lot of bleed through of the cast paint.
