Restoring tail lights on '70 Chevelle?
 

Can anyone recommend the correct silver paint for the outer lip of the tail lights and the horizontal lines going through them? Here's what mine look like, the paint is completly rubbed off the bottom lip and most of the horizontal lines:

I use Sparvar #S124 Dull Aluminum in the rattle can,but you can use any Dull Aumnium color from Rustoleum or Krylon too.
Sometimes there is sand or small minute pebbles embedded in the corners and seams on these tail lenses,from the rearwheels spitting up road debris.
I tried dental instruments in hopes of picking them out,but to no avail.I found submerging them in a Jewelers ultrasonic cleaning tray and hitting them with small sound vibrations gets them to release with out having to dig into the plastic.

Thanks Rick! I can just picture you going into JB Robinson Jewelers and asking them to clean that for you! LOL

Don't think I didn't try that.
The look on the petite teens face behind the sales counter was priceless. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

TESTORS Enamel paint markers work well also. http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tes/tes2546c.htm
