[Chrysler300] Checkerboard Flag suggestion

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I placed white vinyl 3-M tape, cut to each row width, over the checkered
flag area of my trunk pull on our 1955 C-300.  Then I placed oversized
squares of black in the appropriate places and trimmed them with a razor
blade.  Nice and shiny, sticking good and looks great.  Probably stretchier
and thinner than shelf material--and less noticeable.  Looks a lot like I
imagine the screened-on squares looked.  Good definition at the edges and
long, straight lines with the razor blade.  Obviously not good for long
trips in hot sun.  Quick-n-EZ to redo.  Looks way better than the previous
attempt to paint the squares.

C-300'ly,
Rich "the" Barber
Brentwood, CA

David,

Here's a suggestion for?your grill. If it were me, I'd pick up some UV
resistant white self adhesive vinyl, place a square piece?over each letter
on the grill, burnish it with a Q-tip or toothpick, and trim it with an
Exacto Knife. I think it would be easier to trim it with a knife than to try
painting it free-hand.
