I have a 1929 Sport Coupe with some '28 parts. Mine should be painted, true?
Back in about 1993 I bought my 1929 clamps from A&L and bought a bottle of bumper clamp blue paint from Bratton's. I drilled some holes in a 2 x 4 to hold the clamps flat while I used a paint brush to flow in a heavy coat of paint in the recess. They came out great, but as soon as I was done I should have given the bottle of paint to someone else that could use it because it all dried up after a short time.
