Bill,
I painted mine a sort of flat black using DuPont Satin Black Item: A-5099S
The name on the can is 1K Bumper & Trim Black
Not flat not glossy.
I also plan on using the same paint for behind the grill and on the rear apron
above the bumper.
I got the paint somewhere on the Web.
Got 2 cans for about 7 bucks a can.
Frame came out nice.
Now as far as polishing the glass. I tried this with my TR4 with a kit from
Eastwood and ended up with a totally ruined glass. Replaced it with a new one
from TRF.
Eventhough I had a decent piece for the 6 project, I decided to have new glass
installed as well
Including postage from TRF the cost was about 200$ + 80 for a local company to
install + install the chrome bead.
I would go with new glass. Cost is not that bad and nothing is better on a
sunny day than having a no glare windshield.
Bob
