NTBA Plaques

Post by Kim Armstrong »

Years ago I got one of the cast metal plaques with NTBA on it. What is the best way to paint one of these? Does anyone have pictures of a finished one? Thanks

Lincolnut paints the whole thing one color and sands off the raised stuff when COMPLETLY dried. Worked good for his and mine.

Kim this is the one on the front of my car.

I just painted the face with the same color spray paint as my engine and let it set about two weeks. After it was dried good I used a palm sander to remove the paint from the face that I did not want....Try it you will like it.....

I polished the raised surfaces and then coated them with vaseline. After I painted it, I just wiped off the vaseline and the paint came right off. Cleaned it up and it looks great.
