1968 442 tail light bezel?
Does anyone know if some reproduces the black tail light bezel around the light? I’ll probably just sand it down and repaint it if not…

Thanks!
Chad

I dont know if thats reproduced but OEM parts in good shape are almost always better than repros.

Probably right! Most of the pitting (or reverse pitting on pot metal came out easily in my media blaster. What’s the best primer for pot metal to prevent this??

I dont know about primers, ive used good quality spray can paints like krylon or rustoleum. I think most either say no primer needed or reccomend their own primer.

If you want to prevent future oxidation you have to seal out oxygen. Any good epoxy primer should do it. Then build from there.
