Re: 1956 Javelin painting chrome

If you are going to paint over plating then you will most likely need to etch it for proper adhesion. Was in a discussion around how they plated and then painted over portions of the flywheels on some of the older Rowboat Motors. I Googled it and there was a ton of stuff. Try Googling "Painting over chrome". I have also seen a special mastic putty used over parts where plating was not desirable on the entire piece……just portions. i do not know the name of the mastic though. I assume you are referring to the dots and insignia as the parts you want to paint. We also have a few members here in the club who specialize in paint supply. They can help you with colors and advise. They can be found in the member directory or in ads on the Outboarder Mag.
