[Half-Inch Stud]

Long ago, i used a Steel wire brush on the louvers...that was good. But ruined the flat lower areas with scratches...that was bad. Back then the paint was harder than the grill plastic when applied thick, so grills are essentially ruined by hobo paint jobs.

Luckly my present 68 Grills set was/is nice.

@Dataway; nice Pin-upgrade! I need to assess the pin conditions Presently the Fixed headlamp lowers sway & swing with bumps! Needs attention.

That's a good point. I bead blasted off just the factory paint & the covers had some krylon type cheapo black on them so it came off easily. If the paint was a lot tougher, the bead blasting might not have worked so well for me either.
