Front inner fender washer finish
What's the correct finish for the big round washers you see on the wheel side of the inner fender? - 69 Camaro.

Pictured here you can see on this original car, the paint pooled on the upturned edge of the washer when dipped.

Thanks for the info guys. I had to laugh when I read the last two posts because I had a bitch of a time getting that clod of "stuff" cleaned out of there when stripping my washers. Had I known that clod was supposed to be there, I could have saved myself some time - just never dawned on me it could be paint that was supposed to be there
As always I appreciate the info, now I need to go back to these parts and add a clod of paint!

I have had globs of paint on rims so thick I had to use a propane torch and a scraper to remove it.
I think most all vendor supplied parts were dipped, even radiator core supports. It was quick, no primer, and did not waist paint from overspray Mike Last edited by m22mike; 03-14-2020 at 12:35 PM. Reason: Can't spell |

This is a part of the restorers conundrum. Many parts like A-arms were dipped with runs and drips. Do you reproduce that with a vat of paint or do you spray with the masked off areas where they hung the parts through the dipping process but then not get the runs and drips? Part of being "over restored" I suppose.

Yes, with oil based lacquers and enamels. Don't try with water based paints!
But really reproducing the methods the factories used is functionally impossible. Anyone care to reproduce the "red river" that Norwood used to apply the red oxide primer base? But trying to do it best is part of the fun, correct?

IF you float it on water, you cannot use tap water, you need to use de-ionized water.
Also Floating it on water requires aLOT of paint, if you are not doing the parts for multiple cars at one time the amount of paint you would waste would be cost prohibitive.
