I am looking for some thoughts/ideas/suggestions for masking the CHEVROLET letters and the bars on the horn button for my 53, or other ways to skin the cat. Help as always is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

May take a couple tries but I think that's probably your best bet. Masking would be a nightmare and then you run the risk of pulling up paint when you remove the tape.
