I am not sure if anodizing is going to be available but I am looking into it.

I guess maybe a couple people may have got these by now.
It installs between the hood and grille plate, I used the little
foam washers below the part against the hood.

Painting the letters

You can simply fill the letters and wipe away the excess with a thinner
like testors, I did one this way and it looked fine using some 6p3 touchup
paint I had. The one I have now I masked the entire face of the plate
with some good painters masking tape, then ran my fingernail against
the edges of the letters,(carefull they might be somewhat sharp)
this should create a very good outline. Then I carfully trimmed
the outline with an exacto knife and sprayed the face with a good automotive
acrylic enamel by krylon.

Use thin coats and let dry in between coats, a few times should do it.
Once paint has set up well according to
time on the can, remove masking tape .
Carefully with a mild thinner remove any excess from around letters.


The anodizing will not be removed
by the testors thinner but it will remove the paint.
If you have any questions
at all don't hesitate to contact me.

High heat paint is not needed and will likely leave a crackle type finish.
Manny has one that is completly painted with an automotive paint
and as far as I know he has never had an issue with it.

Also I will try to resolve any issue I can, if you are still not happy
you can return it for a full refund. smile.gif
