My grease gun cap is not painted.
Here's the deal with restoring or over-restoring. If everything in the kit looks absolutely perfect, it's obviously not 50 years old. I worked on the concours prep of an original leaf spring car for an event in Phoenix last January. The thing I kept pointing the owner towards was not to over restore the car. A concours is not a car show per se and since his car was a driver, I thought we should go the route of survivor rather than day-one brand new. (we missed placement by one point due to a perfect Allard... damit!) So it's really up to you as to what you're trying to replicate. Do you want it day one perfect or 50 year old authentic, in terms of looks?
