Great time for this video to come out. I need to restore the EXACT same badge in the Exact same way on my Torino lmao!

Awesome job and those 7X glasses are awesome. Do you have a video on repainting hub caps? Thanks for the video.

Here I thought I was the only one OCD on the small minor detailed oriented trim. Love doing this kind of stuff on classics. I think the small details make the biggest difference

Unsure about this era, but in the 1950s the process used a metallized coating on the plastic for the shiny bit and paint on the rest. 1957-1959 Chrysler badges were casted, gold metallized, sanded/polished, and THEN painted. There are still a few companies that can metallize clear plastic badges.

This bring back some memories, lol, great job though. However I've had some success with solder, and as long as you seal it quickly it produces a very nice effect. Though I had a buddy who is sadly no longer with us, but he did some incredible badge work for me over the years. He did a set of Ford and Ghia badges for me back in the late 90's with gold,-silver leaf, Crushed celestial Fire Glass and crushed ruby. They were spectacular, but in a good way.

Great video! Did the chrome stripes in my '74 ford f250 gauge cluster. Used the cheap liquid chrome and it turned out super nice!

I’ve used those Molotow markers on my 66 Mustang. I think it’s designed to float the most reflective stuff in the formula to the surface. So with a reverse badge like the Torino, it’s not quite gonna look like the other side of itself. My opinion only! Thanks for all your knowledge and help over the years.

Hi, I have a 1972 Ltd with a similar badge style. How do you remove the insert without destroying the arms that hold it in? Working on the lock cover one that swings out of the way.

Hello Jeff. I have found that soaking this type of part in brake fluid will remove the paint without affecting the plastic. I would use this method to remove all of the paint including the silver lettering. George B

How about that, watching paint dry can be interesting! Seriously though, this is why restoration shops are expensive. When you're paying people to do this sort of fiddly work the shop hours add up fast.

@therustyduck5400 Год назад

That was pretty cool, I have not built models in 45 years, but will get me some old guy goggles and look for some badges to restore!

@dragonslair59 Год назад

Bare metal foil from any hobby store is probably similar to what Ford used

Old paint is removed with hot water and a nail brush.

@MrPoppyDuck Год назад

Nice job! That is a real improvement!

@breannaschlaht6501 Год назад

It's not as convenient as a paint pen but you should try rub and buff for Chrome touch up next time. It's amazing what you can do with that stuff. IDK how well it would work for this application but another way to touch up Chrome trim/emblems is aluminum foil / HVAC tape cut with a razor. Thank you for this video I really appreciate your time and everything you guys do ❤🤗

@AutoRestoMod Год назад

Yeah, the rub and buf won't get down in the nooks and crannys, but I do like it as a product!
