hood inserts on 67 barracuda

I took my inserts to Pauls last year and they said they would not fill the pits in the bottom. Most of them filled with the plating process. I masked mine(took about 4 hours) and hit lightly with glass bead and used an epoxy primer then argent paint. I put on a heavy coat of primer and then sanded and got the pits out then painted. It has stood up good so far. The only bad thing I will say about Pauls is that the chrome is built up much more than original. It looks awsome to anyone that would not know.
