Got the radiator for my wagon the other day. Since I have an extra early Cutlass shroud I thought using a one piece would be the way to go. Its been hanging on a hook in my garage for a long time. I honestly thought I already painted it the same Duplicolor low gloss black that I used on the AC box but after looking at it yesterday I see that its all original. My buddy suggested spraying it with something like tire dressing to shine it up. Did that today and along the top you can still see where the adhesive was for a label. I didnt want to sand the thing because I dont want to break the smooth surface of the plastic. Did that to an inner fender and it just made more work.
So my choice is cleaning all over again, spraying it with adhesion promoter and doing it in the Duplicolor like I did to the one in the 81. Or, leave it original.
What do you guys think ?
I also have a quart of SEM matte clear. I could clear it but I dont know how that would look.
The low gloss black doesnt look too bad in the 81.
