We all know Ross's advice is gold but this time literally. I redid the scripts on my car. The steps are:
- clean with a wire wheel
- clean what you missed, with steel wool (doesn't have to be perfect but just get the rough corrosion off)
- clean with brake cleaner and a rag
- apply Duplicolor Gold automotive rattle can paint. Sweep the can back and forth to apply several very light passes in one go. Repeat from all 4 directions.
It's not a concours level look but it's very nice overall and the paint is surprisingly durable. Best part is a whole car costs just a $13 can. Whereas replated scripts from vendors are nearly a cool $100 each. The replated ones do have a mirror shine but unless your local car cruise has a pile of Packards it's not like anyone will be able to tell or care. (Photo attached for reference.)
