    So, was doing inventory on some parts for a future project... and dropped a damn good original tail light lens. After about an hour of moving everything off the shop floor I found the pieces and glued it together. . What do you use to fill the super tiny little gaps so i can sand and paint it?

    And for the life of me I don't recall the correct silver paint.. was it Krylon Dull Aluminum or Duplicolor Silver Trim paint? Thanks

    Krylon Dull Aluminum 1403 is about as close to Argent Silver as you can get. I believe Ford and Chrysler also had their versions of Argent silver, getting the right one is difficult.
    I used the Krylon Dull Aluminum on my 67 Olds 442. Looks perfect.
