QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS - - - - - -

I really appreciate you guy's patience with a "new-be" to the Tool Kit Game.

1. My Grease Gun appears to be "correct". The end cap reads GB-2800. The grease gun is painted a "hammer tone green". 80% + paint is in tact. I'm not sure if I should clean it up and leave it alone - OR - find the right paint and re-paint it ???

1-A. The End Cap appears to have NO paint on it. If I paint the Grease Gun should I paint the end cap as well or leave it as is???

2. The Spanners that I have are a bit rough and I'd like to have them "plated". Any thoughts - Nickel - Chrome - Or ??? Brite Reflective or Dull finish ??? It's hard to tell what they were originally.

The King Dick pliers that I have will likely not "clean-up" well. I will have them plated for sure.

Authenticity in the set is important but so is 'consistency', i.e. all new appearing or all original appearing.

I really appreciate your knowledge and counsel.

Y'all have a really great day.

BLACKJACK
