| painted the whole thing black and wet flatted the paint until the letters came back through as bare metal, then clear coated the whole thing to stop the bare metal rusting

| Not sure I'd trust the clear coat in the long term to keep the rust at bay, just needs a knock to break through it. It'd be more paint and more time, but primer then a good coat of white before the black would be my choice if trying that method. Probably wouldn't need the clear coat if done carefully. Currently it does look go though, I have to admit. | |

| still waiting for the damn Canadian weather to buck up here (2 day ice storm), so thought I'd start pulling all the parts I've been collecting for a retrofit headlight wiper system. Testing it on a spare front panel before I fit it to the car...
