Here are some pics of Bugsy my '68 Sprite with Steel BE Bonnet installed. Forward Tilting and fabulously expensive Rustoleum BRG Paint Job. Yes a complete paint job for < $50 can actually be done with this method and considering the way the bonnet looked when I started with it, it looks fabulous.
I just redid the grille using electrolytic rust removal on a badly rusted grille that I did not think was salvageable. 24 hours in the soup and it stopped bubbling, that's when you know it is done. Shiny metal underneath when I rinsed everything off. I primered and used Rustoleum Chrom from a rattle can. Paint would not work on a bumper well but for a small surface area like a grille looks fabulous from 4-5 feet away.
Anyway, Bugsy will get twin white stipes like The Mite later this year. My better half has projects lined up for me that I need to complete before I go back to work on Bugsy. Time now to get out and drive.
