OK,, What do I use to paint the red, and blue, on the door handles, trunk handle, and the nose pieces? all are chrome and really can't be sanded and primed.. Unless I am missing something.
Thanks,

I used Sign Painter's One Shot. Haven't bought any in awhile though. I assume it is still available. It comes in very small cans.

I would think a wipe of the hubcap to remove all traces of silicon wax and grease remover would be the first thing to do. I used ONE SHOT ENAMEL back in the 70's on my chromed grill emblem and luggage rack emblem, and its still on there, I did nothing else except pre wipe it with silicon wax polish and grease remover. mike

I've seen pics in COF's and the Filling Station showing the grill and trunk lid embalms painted. Not sure if thats original but it looks cool and thought it would be a nice addition to my driver.

Hello LonnieC,
Thank you for the link, I'm horrible when it comes to "searching" for stuff. I do have a request in with 1shot for their paint palette and your info will help take the guess work out of the decision of which paint to use.
