I'm doing some additional clean up following a paint job on my 1940 160 Club Sedan. The old (and original) running board rubber now looks a little shabby against the newly painted body and I'm thinking of ways to freshen it up a bit. While the rubber is still in remarkable shape, there are a few cracked, chipped and missing areas. Has anyone tried applying liquid rubber to fill in gaps or cracks (something like FlexSeal or equivalents). If so, I'd be interested in hearing about what was used and how that worked out. Obviously, I don't want to worsen the appearance or apply something that will not hold up. Just trying to hold off an ultimate rubber replacement project as long as possible. Thanks for any insights.
