Had some time to kill between classes so I decided to clean up and repaint these Dodge Division Covers I got a while back for $40, I wouldn’t call this a restoration...hence the title.
I took them apart, cleaned them up and gave all the screws a bath in some Evaporust .
here’s a before photo-
I used some evaporust brand paint stripper on the center black piece but decided not to use them on the grey spoke piece, just sanded them down.
After spraying one of the black center pieces- I didn’t mask the letters, just took a razor blade and scraped them off afterwards
used some metal polish to get the small bits off. Here’s a comparison shot -
For the spoke...piece...I used some Por 15 manifold grey high temp paint, it is pretty expensive but it sprays and lays down really well...the color is pretty close, I’d say a skosh darker but looks pretty good IMO.
one down, three to go!
Here’s a comparison shot of the grey paints
Looks even similar on camera -
I’ll do the rest when I have some more time to kill...
For the red line, I’m gonna cut out some red vinyl on our cutter as I think the factory also used stickers..
