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.)

Yeah I figured. IDK if it would be worth it but it might improve the quality of the entries a bit if people can go back and edit for errors or omissions.

Thanks. Will heed that advice.
I assume it is correct to use a copper washer between the brake hose and wheel cylinder?

Would it be possible to make it where people can edit or delete their own entries? At least for say 7 days like forum posts?

Check with your local library if they can do an interlibrary loan through either Los Angeles Library or the LOC.
