The original had lost almost all of it's paint over its
60 years of service.

The original piece was not sanded, blasted or scuffed up
in any way before painting at the factory.
I just used patience, a fine brush and One-Shot paints after
cleaning good with a solvent which doesn't leave any residue.

Here it is today, six years and 10,000 miles later.
