So what can I do with this?

A little trim paint, clear coat? Any ideas? I found the back side with the gold finish.

I found some paint that worked well for the grill. Very near the factory color just a wee bit more flake. Rustolium mag wheel paint. Pics to come

A new one would be nice too

I can vouch for the quality of this one, It looks a little better than the one in my NOS grille. Yeah..... I bought a back-up just in case.....

Re: So what can I do with this?

What I'm thinking is some red or blue reflective tape. I know they made red reflective in one model. Maybe red white and blue?

So much for the chevy emblem mod on the back side, the angles are backwards,,,,, Duh

But how about the paint matching?? New is a lot brighter of course

Re: So what can I do with this?

I picked up an extra grill for my 74 then I cut the bowtie out and welded in a section from the parts grille. So now, it looks a lot like a 55 chevy: nothing but bars. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.
