Any ideas of the right color of paint and brand to restore the front grill bar on my 63? It looks to be close to a maroon or dark red shade? In the past on other projects years ago I used Testers model paint-worked!

 

It will work again, if you can find it.

Any reddish purple in a spray bomb will do it too.

 

Most of these trim parts were accented by a transparent red paint.
It should be available at most hobby stores such as Hobby Lobby in small spray bombs
Mask the part with Frog Tape and a single edged razor blade.
The more coats you put on, the darker the color.

 

Thanks Charlie, as soon as I get the A/C expansion valve changed I will getter done.
