Paint or polish?

For paint, I used SEM Trim Black. It's self etching so you don't need a primer.

Grilles and headlight doors are anodized, then black paint applied.

bill, see you there! Haven't heard much about how things are going in Wichita, post up some updates.

Jon, give us more specifics about what you need.

I used Vintage Vehicles Restoration 25 years ago, for all my stainless and aluminum. They are great people. I think Wautoma, Wisconsin. "Bill"!

Vintage Vehicles in Wautoma, WI is where I had my '64 Grilles polished in 2012. They did a great job---polished, replaced rivets, and welded the road rage cuts on the bottom outside of each grille.

They do not do anodizing, but I'm not sorry it was not done. They look as good as they did right after being done. I applied a protective coating (not paint) to slow dulling.

Judge for yourself.
