I was looking at the front of the Fury the other day and noticed that after 50 years of exposure to the elements the headlight bezels were looking a bit worse for wear. I decided to get out the Paint marker and do a little touch up. Before: After: I didn't get a photo of the driver's side after I touched it up and neglected to get one of the entire front end. It isn't a big change, but Over all it does make the front end look nicer.
I have gotten them every where from hobby stores, to WAL-MART to hardware stores. They are great for crafts, model building and of course touch up.
Thanks.......If they make my side trim look as good as the improvement you got on your Fury, I'll be real happy! Bill
True enough! The obvious only comes to me, after virtually always picking the most complex method or strategy. Not Kidding either.
Here is the paint marker I used: Look of the entire front end with the touch up done: I used the marker to touch up the Plymouth lettering as well. I think it turned out well.
I probably would have gone with a Markal Valve Action Paint Marker, but that is just me. http://www.markal.com/low-corrosion-markers/valve-action-paint-marker-low-corrosion-colors/
So, the rear trim piece on the tailgate has looked a little worse for wear for a long time. In fact, I remember as a kid getting in and out of the way back thinking it needed some touch up. I even thought about getting some of my model paint out and trying to do it back then. The other day I decided to tackle it with the paint pen I had used for the headlight bezels (as you can see on the far right side of the trim), but it was quickly obvious it would take a long time, the paint kept running to places I didn't want and it wasn't covering well. So, plan "B" was to mask it, paint it and then wipe off the excess with a rag before it dried. This was my "4th of July" project. How it has looked for years: Masking it all off: Coat of Black paint:
Here are some "Progress pics" after I started wiping off the excess (which took some careful maneuvering): ...and then the finished product: I think it turned out quite nice.
