[Chrysler300] 1961 Grill Lettering re-paint

["Russell Roe" <saxblower@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all 61 grill owners...I had my grill surround re-chromed a couple of
years ago and when I got it back I used a small sanding pen  (from a kit to
touch-up rock chips) to lightly rough up the bottom of the CHRYSLER
lettering.  Then I carefully masked around the lettering and sprayed white
automotive touch up spray paint into the letters. It came out super nice and
is holding up real well.   The main trick was to do a good job with the
masking tape. I started with thin masking tape,  then wider tape,  then
newspaper so the front end was safe from over-spray.  I did it right on the
car in my driveway on a nice warm sunny day... Used one thin coat of paint
after another until it came out exactly like I thought it should be.  Rusty

PS ....spring is happening in Oregon and I drove the 300C down to the railroad last Thursday and put in my paperwork for railroad retirement.  I'll be out of there in a few months after railroading for 42 years. Going out in style in a Chrysler 300C..what more could a guy ask for....?????  Just living the dream ! !
