I've always been pleased with VHT paints but was particulary impressed with the finish of this one.....

Only the bottom face/contact area of the seat stop (with phillips head) was painted and as you can see (hopefully ?), the paint is a perfect match. Not sure what the original finish is, maybe silver cadmium ? The plastic knob is unpainted.

Wow that looks really good. Did you have to use a primer??

Hi Steven, well, ya got me on that...I didn't, however from the instructions on the can, primer is recommended.:o Jury (me) is still out on durability, but so far it seems pretty tough. Have installed the latch on the seat and opened/closed the seatback several times and hasn't left a mark yet. :)

very cool i may just look into that paint if and when i get to that point in my resto.

nice find Garth!

Looks a lot better then the "chrome" spray paint I got from killer cans for like 40 dollars. It was just silver.

This is basically just a silver paint with a high degree of reflectivity. Certainly doesn't duplicate the appearance of chrome, but it's the closest I've seen from a paint. I'm only using it for these little bits & pieces that I believe were originally silver cad plated....someone correct me if I'm wrong ?? I think it's an excellent match for this. Was around $9 through Amazon.

Nice work Garth:thumbsup:

Thanks Chick ! :beers:

Hey, did you find a yellow spring on the bottom of your seats ??:)
