Finally Some Pictures of my 1969 Dodge Dart GT
Figured I would update some of my progress even though it has slowed down quite a bit. I went ahead and touched up the tail panel for my car with some fresh paint. Despite the knicks in the chrome the new paint alone really makes the piece look a lot better.
I also decided to start over with my headlight bezels and grille, so I stripped them of all paint. I then went back and ordered the Mopar Argent Silver paint to use. Originally, I tried using something off the shelf from the local auto parts store, but it just didn't have the right look. I also stripped the anodize and sanded down the outer edges of the bezels and grille.
After polishing the edges with a small dremel and a lot of elbow grease, I painted the silver first, and then painted the black. I know that this is not the correct paint scheme for the 69 grille, but I like the blacked out look in the center. I need to go back and touch up the edges on the bezels, but they came out pretty nice. The polished edges really stand out with the correct silver and the black.
