Riding a '37 Fleetwood
Got this stuff called Brass Darkening Solution. it's designed to darken brass parts on furniture etc.
I was turned onto this stuff by a friend who said it worked on basically any metal.
I bought this small bottle on ebay for around $5.00
I thought since I was going to use it anyway I would give a demonstration.
when they were on the Super Streamline I had to remove the fender braces. now that they're going on the Flying Ace I had to re-install them. they were held on by screws when I got them and I decided to go with a more stock rivet look. but once installed the rivets stood out like sore thumbs.
I applied a small amount with a Q-Tip. here's one done.
here's the Q-tip.
and all done. it took less than a minute to two, the stuff turns color almost immediately. it's an acid, so use common sense when using it.
all four
