1949 Mercury Sedan

Haven't had a whole lot of bench time but I did manage to get the hood emblems chromed.  I used my stamping process and once again it looks pretty good.

That is a great idea!! I am going to try this out. ?

Thank's Joe.  I have used this process with the liquid chrome a hand full of times and it's worked every time.  Just go slow and very little chrome on the eraser.  Better to not have enough and you can go back and hit it again.  If you flood it.....it's game over.

Thank you for the additional advice. I had noticed that there was little paint on the  eraser. A case of less is more.

Thank's Joe.  Practice on an old body first.  That's what I did.  Takes a little practice.

[Joe Nunes]

Will do. The oldest body here is the one writing this...however, I can practice on it if need be. Might look a little bit funny though with tiny silver dots all over it but a man does what a man has to do. ?

Well, I don't know about codes but the base color is Rust-Oleum flat gray primer and the arm rest and upper portions of the seats are a Tamiya XF-63 German Grey.  I then shot it with Rust-Oleum Matte Cleat.
